Cauliflower heads can be wrapped in a damp paper towel. Then place in a plastic bag that you can puncture a couple tiny holes for a little air flow. If stored in the crisper drawer they will keep 7 -14 days. Individual florets will keep up to 7 days when stored in a container in the refrigerator.

For this wonderful intense color, you can focus on contrast: purple cauliflower in a salad that is mostly green really pops, same as a side dish on a plate with mostly brown or pale foods like chicken or fish or pork.

But an even more interesting approach is to embrace a monochrome palette, and pair it with other purple ingredients like radicchio, purple cabbage, Japanese eggplant, beets, purple potatoes, purple carrots, purple asparagus, and the like. You can make a beautiful composed salad with several of these ingredients, or a platter of grilled purple vegetables.
