Stage 2 - 8 min.
Prepare 400 ml cauliflower, keeping only the small, neat florets, no larger than a mouthful.

Steam the cauliflower until just tender.
Stage 4 - 3 min.
When cooked, drain thoroughly and tip into a salad bowl while still hot.
Stage 5 - 1 min.
Add the diced cheeses, herbs and onion.
Stage 6 - 2 min.
Add 5 tablespoons french dressing (vinaigrette), mix well and serve immediately to keep the "warm" effect.
Remarks
For the two cheeses, you can use others, of course, instead of Cantal and mature Mimolette, but I advise you to choose ones with a hard paste (Comté, Gruyère, Beaufort, Cheddar, etc.).
Keeping: Should be served immediately.
