Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams cauliflower florets
- 1 large cucumber
- 200 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a boil.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and blanch for 3-5 minutes until they are tender yet slightly crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
While the cauliflower cools, wash the cucumber thoroughly and peel it if desired. Slice it thinly into rounds or half-moons depending on your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Add the cooled cauliflower, cucumber slices, and fresh dill to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated in the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving for a colder, more refreshing salad.
