  3. Brush the cut side of each half of romaine lettuce with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Instructions
  1. Place the bread in a toaster oven on very low heat.  Toast as long as possible without burning (about 5 minutes).
  2. While bread toasts, trim leaves and stalks from cauliflower. Cut into individual florets.
  3. Place 1 inch of water in a 4-quart pot with lid.  Insert steamer basket, and place cauliflower in basket.  Sprinkle with salt.  Cover.  Bring to a boil over high heat.  Reduce heat to medium. Steam for 5–8 minutes, until easily pierced with a sharp knife.  Do not overcook.
  4. While cauliflower steams, break toast into small pieces.  Pulse toast in food processor until medium-sized crumbs form.  Tip:  If you don’t have a food processor, break or crush the toasted bread into finer pieces or buy whole-wheat breadcrumbs and use 2 tablespoons.
  5. When cauliflower is done, remove from heat.  Melt margarine in another pan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and pepper.  Cook and stir, about 5 minutes.  Add cauliflower to pan with breadcrumbs.  Toss until well coated.  Serve immediately.
