Marinated Cauliflower

If you are craving quick pickled vegetables, try this marinade I found for cauliflower from Food52.  Naturally, I added a few other veggies:  red pepper strips, carrots and broccoli.  It keeps in the refrigerator for a week. 

Marinated Cauliflower

1 head of cauliflower

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

3/4 cups sugar- (I went lighter on the sugar)

pinch of white pepper

Cut or break cauliflower up into florets and put in a bowl that has an airtight lid.  Bring remaining ingredients to a boil over medium high heat, stirring until everything is dissolved and incorporated.  Let cool, then pour over cauliflower.  Cover bowl and let sit at room temperature for 3-4 hours, shaking or stirring occasionally.

Refrigerate overnight to best enjoy this light and lively flavor.
