Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 pound salami or saucisson sec, thinly sliced
2 cups loosely packed bitter greens, such as dandelions, beet greens, or mustard greens
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1
Remove any green leaves from the cauliflower while keeping the stem.
2
Quarter, and using a sharp knife or the slicing attachment on a food processor, slice the cauliflower as thin as possible.
3
(Dont worry if some of the cauliflower crumbles into small pieces.)
4
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower with all the marinade ingredients and mix well.
5
Set aside to marinate for 6 hours or more.
6
Make sure to stir the mixture from the bottom before using.
7
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half, with a thicker bottom half (see Note).
8
Place the marinated cauliflower on the bottom slices and top with the salami and the bitter greens.
9
Spread the mustard evenly on the top slices and close the sandwiches.
10
Cut into halves and serve.
11
Cut the bottom of the bread a bit thicker than usual, and then make the salad your bottom layer, so that the marinade soaks into the bread.
