Cauli Faux-tato Salad

Bridget, my new friend in our village, shared this absolutely delicious recipe with me. I didn't want to lose it, AND I wanted to share it with my friends, so here it is! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!


Ingredients:

  • 1 large head cauliflower (sometimes I cheat and use frozen)
  • 6 large eggs ~ hard boiled, peeled, and separated into yolks and whites
  • 2 TBSP roughly chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 TBSP roughly chopped fresh dill
  • 1 TBSP finely chopped shallot
  • 1/3 cup dill pickle relish (or finely chopped dill pickle)
  • 3 whole green onions, chopped (white, light and dark green parts ~ may save some dark green for garnish
Dressing:
  • hard boiled egg yolks (from above)
  • 1/4 cup good mayo
  • 1/4 cup full fat sour cream (or be like me and use all mayo)
  • 1/4 TBSP dill pickle juice
  • 1 TBSP yellow mustard
  • 1 TBSP dijon mustard (or be like and use all yellow)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper (black or blend)
Directions:
  1. Cut cauli head into bit-sized piece (florets and soft stems only), and steam until tender but not mushy.
  2. Drain, dry and cool.
  3. Chop the hard-boiled egg whites and add them to a bowl with cooled cauli, parsley, dilll, pickle relish, onions and shallot.
  4. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, separately blend ingredients for dressing.  
  5. Toss cauli/onion mix with blended dressing and mix well.
  6. Adjust for salt, pepper & pickle juice.
  7. May garnish with extra herbs, chopped dark green tops of onions, and/or a shake of paprika.
