This side dish is simple in its description, but complex thanks to its layers of flavor.  A plate of luscious steamed cauliflower (I used a distant Italian cousin, light green Romanesco instead) topped with a red wine vinaigrette, briny capers and a crunchy mixture of roasted, omega-three rich walnuts flavored with a simple garlic paste and some grated Parmesan cheese.  Be sure and top the steamed cauliflower with the vinaigrette while it is still warm, this helps the veggies absorb more of the vinaigrette’s delicious flavor.
