Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 stalks, diced celery
- 0.25 cup, finely diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon, for garnish paprika
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, removing the leaves and core.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the cauliflower florets in the boiling water for 5-7 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pot and place them in an ice bath for 5 minutes to cool. Peel and chop the eggs into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower, chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and dill pickles.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Pour the dressing over the cauliflower mixture and gently fold until all ingredients are well coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and garnish with a light sprinkle of paprika for color.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
