Italian Cauliflower and Broccoli Salad

Rita~'s Note:

Sundried tomatoes, prosciutto, basil add a nice touch to this salad. Making it a great summer salad. I wanted a green dressing for St Patrick's day and came up with this. I know It is Italian but still yummy. The dressing is good as a dip or sandwich spread.

The color of the salad was unique. The cauliflower was very crisp--and altogether this was a very different and yummy salad!
