This is a traditional salad from Naples, known as Insalata di Rinforzo, which is typically served at Christmas time. It’s lovely and colorful as it uses cauliflower, lime green Romanesco and dark green broccoli and is jazzed up with olives and red pickled peppers. It is served with a lemon-based vinaigrette and sometimes anchovies and capers.
