Directions
1.
Remove heavy leaves and tough stems from cauliflower; cut into 4 to 6 wedges each. Place cauliflower in a microwave-safe 3-quart casserole. Add 1/2 cup water. Microcook, covered, on 100 percent power (high) for 7 to 9 minutes or just until tender. Remove with a slotted spoon to serving plates. Top with ham and cheese.

In a screw top jar combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, sugar, mustard, and pepper. Cover and shake well to combine; drizzle over cauliflower, ham, and cheese. Sprinkle with pine nuts and capers. Makes 4 servings.
Note
Serrano ham comes from Spain; find it in some specialty markets or at www.tienda.com. Substitute with any other thinly sliced ham.
