Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and steam or boil them for 5-7 minutes, until they’re fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool completely.
While the cauliflower cools, finely chop the celery, red onion, dill pickles, and fresh dill. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cooled cauliflower, chopped celery, red onion, pickles, fresh dill, and hard-boiled eggs to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle paprika on top for garnish.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
