Cauliflower Potato Salad
Description
The Cauliflower Potato Salad swaps out the carbohydrate base of potatoes for florets of cauliflower cooked until just tender by microwaving or steaming. This preserves their slight crunch and prevents waterlogging, a common issue with boiling. The salad incorporates chopped hard-boiled eggs, minced dill pickles, and red onion for crunch and tang. The dressing blends mayonnaise with Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, celery salt, and dried dill to provide a creamy, tangy coating to the warm cauliflower and mix-ins. Salt and fresh black pepper season to taste.
The cauliflower is warmed when dressed, which allows flavors to meld together as the dish chills before serving. It makes a suitable alternative when aiming for a lighter, vegetable-forward side with familiar classic salad flavors. It can complement grilled or roasted meats and picnic dishes alike.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower cut into small bites, small head
- 3 egg chopped, hard boiled
- 2 tablespoons dill pickles minced
- 1 tablespoon red onion minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ½ teaspoon dill dried
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the cauliflower florets to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 8-10 minutes or until slightly tender (or your desired texture). You can steam it instead, if you don't have or want to use a microwave, but I would not boil it, it will be too watery. Drain any water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Add the pickles, onion and egg to a large bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients to a cup and mix well. Pour in the cauliflower (while still warm) into the large bowl.
- Pour in the cauliflower (while still warm) into the large bowl. Then pour the sauce over the top and toss until well coated. Store in the fridge until ready to serve, at least 1 hour or longer. The longer it sits, the better it will taste!
