- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Bring a large stockpot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes, or until tender.
- (A fork should easily pierce the cauliflower but not break it apart.)
- Drain the cauliflower and rinse it under cold water.
- Combine the olive oil, onion, capers, preserved lemon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add the cauliflower and mix well.
- Marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature, tossing once or twice.
