Cauliflower has been the darling of the vegan world for at least a couple of years. It's really no surprise since this perfect vegetable is so versatile.

Sauces only seem the enhance the little morsels. You can go Mexican style, Asian, East Indian and on and on.
For this recipe, we're going pure with a perfect fresh pickling mixture. It's mild and just right.
There is no sharp pickled taste but a mild enhancement to the cauliflower. It is pickled but not in the way that you are familiar with.
A great appetizer and I would serve it with toothpicks alongside colorful olives, snap peas and jicama.
A simple recipe with just 5 ingredients and no oil makes these little bites a go-to. The date/coconut sugar adds a very mild sweetness and it also adds a pretty sparkle to the cauliflower.
