Cauliflower and Colatura Salad

The recipes for our menus are designed to be created in a restaurant kitchen and are consistently evolving to give our guests the most unique and seasonal Blackberry experience. Each year, we select a few recipes, work with our chefs to test them for home cooking, and share them with our Friends of Blackberry and online audiences.

One of the most requested recipes of 2022 was Executive Chef Joel Werner’s Cauliflower and Colatura Salad from the Firetower. We hope you enjoy recreating this memorable dish!
