Cauliflower Salad

cauliflower (small head)

extra virgin olive oil

green onions

celery

eggs

dill pickles (or sun dried tomatoes

mayonnaise

dijon mustard

salt (to taste)

black pepper (to taste)

parsley (for garnish)

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Remove the core of the cauliflower and cut or break into small florets.

Place the cauliflower in  a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, toss to coat.

Bake for 15 minutes or so, until cauliflower is tender but not soft. Let cool completely before assembling salad.

To Roast Cauliflower

Bring water to a boil in a large pot with a steamer insert. If you don&#39;t have an insert, no biggie, just make sure to let the water drain from the cauliflower after cooking.

Remove the core of the cauliflower and cut or break into small florets. Cook the florets in boiling water or in the steamer basket just until tender. No more than 5 minutes or the cauliflower might get too soft for the salad. Remove and let cool being sure to drain any excess liquid before assembling the salad.

Dice green onions, celery, hard boiled eggs and sun dried tomatoes and set aside.

Combine cooled cauliflower, green onions, celery, hard boiled eggs, and sun dried tomatoes in a large serving bowl. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir in mayonnaise and dijon mustard. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

The cauliflower salad can be enjoyed immediately or refrigerated until ready to serve.

To Steam Cauliflower

This cauliflower salad is a bright, delicious side dish! It&#39;s a fresh twist on classic potato salad, featuring a creamy, tangy dressing, savory herbs, and hard-boiled eggs. Assemble the salad at least an hour before serving so that the raw cauliflower has a chance to marinate in the dressing.

Wow! What a refreshing summer salad. Salad is currently in the fridge to let the dressing infuse the veggies. Had a taste and it's delicious! Thank you.

I absolutely loved this salad, so fresh!
As I was using up ingredients already to hand, I subbed frozen peas and broad beans for the fresh peas and parsley for the mint.
We had it as a side for one meal with sumac roasted beetroot and chickpeas and for lunch the next day with pitta.
I was pleased to have a little left for a lunch side.
Definitely planning to use this again. Would be great at a bbq.

After 5 years of reading Feasting at Home - this might be one of my all time favorite recipes. It's just delightful to the tastebuds- and so absolutely chocked full of healthy.

Over 10 yrs later of reading and making a ton of Sylvia’s recipes and this still is one of my all time favorites. Refreshing and delightful.

This recipe landed in my inbox on the very day I was looking for a pea salad - luckily I had all the other ingredients as well!  It's so fresh and "bright" - just delicious!
