Cauliflower Summer Salad
Tender crisp cauliflower in a fabulous dressing that tastes like the best deviled eggs. Top with crisp bacon.
Ingredients
- 1 head fresh cauliflower cut into bite size pieces
- 2 stalks celery finely diced
- 1/4 cup green onion green parts only, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
- 6 whole eggs hard boiled
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp sweet relish
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika more for sprinkling
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Clean and cut fresh cauliflower into bite sized pieces. Place in a pot of boiling water. Turn off heat. Blanch for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and place in an ice bath to stop further cooking, drain again.
- While cauliflower is cooking, prepare the dressing. In a medium mixing bowl combine Egg YOLKS, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, relish, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine chopped celery, red onion, green onion, and cooked cauliflower. Pour dressing over top and mix well to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning. If salad is too dry add up to an additional 1/4 cup of mayo. The sauce will thin as it sits.
- Place prepared Cauliflower salad in the fridge to completely cool, and allow flavours to meld, at least 20 minutes. Top with crispy cooked bacon before serving if desired.
Notes
Do not over cook. You want the cauliflower to still have a little bite to it.
