Recipes–Cauliflower Salad With Capers, Basil, And Vietnamese Fish Sauce

Cauliflower can be delicious if prepared with the right sauce – a sauce which complements but does not overpower the vegetable.  This recipe does the trick, and the combination of a light mayo-yoghurt mix highlighted with Dijon-style mustard and Vietnamese fish sauce, and garnished with fresh basil and capers is perfect.
