Cauliflower Salad

Summery and excellent as an alternative for the almost too typical coleslaw!  The additional ingredients are quite variable and may be added according to preference and availability.

3 cups (750 ml) small bite-size cauliflower florets
¼ cup (60 ml) snipped spring onion
1 Tbsp (15 ml) chopped parsley

Dressing
1/3 cup (75 ml) mayonnaise
1/3 cup (75 ml) yoghurt
1 Tbsp (15 ml) favourite mustard
1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice
pinch sugar
½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
¼ tsp (1 ml) curry powder (optional)
ground black pepper

Additional ingredients
½ cup (125 ml) chopped celery
½ cup (125 ml) fresh or lightly cooked corn kernels
½ cup (125 ml)  frozen green peas
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
2 Tbsp (30 ml) dill pickles, chopped
3 slices crisply cooked bacon, crumbled

  1. Place cauliflower in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil and cook until just fork tender, about 8 – 10 minutes.  Drain and rinse in cold water.
  2. Add  the spring onion and parsley. Reserve a little of the additional ingredients to use as fresh garnish and add the rest to the cauliflower.
  3. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing and add to the cauliflower. Toss gently and spoon into a bowl.
  4. Refrigerate at least 2 ours to develop flavour and spoon into a bowl to serve.
  5. Garnish as preferred.

Note
Seal and refrigerate the salad up to three days.
