Forget bland, boiled cauliflower.  This recipe involves roasted curry cauliflower with those florets charred to crispy perfection, then tossing them in a flavorful, delightful curry dressing.  
 
 
Plus, it's a cold salad make-ahead dream, so you can spend less time stressing in the kitchen and more time relaxing in the sunshine.
