I really enjoyed this recipe! I have been switching out meat lately for veggies and this not only filled me up for lunch, but was super delicious! I made it as is, and would also like to try your suggestions for feta and olives next time. Thank you for sharing!

Are the tomatoes roasted as well? Or just the cauliflower? Had this last night (with raw tomatoes) and it was delicious!
