For a richer flavor, brown the cauliflower florets in a skillet with a little olive oil before tossing with the dressing. If you don't have anchovy paste, you can use finely minced anchovy fillets. Be sure to rinse them first to remove excess salt. This dish is best served immediately, but it can be prepared ahead of time and reheated gently.
