Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Celery, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 pieces Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.
Drain the cauliflower and let it cool completely. You can place the florets in an ice bath to speed up the cooling process.
While the cauliflower cools, prepare the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Add the diced celery, red onion, chopped dill, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the bowl with the dressing. Stir to combine.
Once the cauliflower has cooled, gently fold it into the dressing mixture, ensuring all florets are evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar as needed.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with paprika, if using, for garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy!
