Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and lightly salt it.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, finely chop it into small, rice-sized pieces. Alternatively, pulse it in a food processor for a few seconds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower, sautéed garlic, red onion, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, and lemon juice.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir until evenly combined.
Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve as a sandwich filling for bread or wraps, or use it as a spread or dip. Enjoy!
