I was pleasantly surprised at how much I really enjoyed this salad. My heads of broccoli & cauliflower were what I would call medium in size so I doubled the dressing as well as the oregano, peppers and caper. I actually would even triple the dressing next time. We omitted the olives. I had to used canned artichoke quarters because none of the stores had frozen. Also, no stores in my area had cherry peppers, so I used roasted red peppers instead.
