Cauliflower Mayo Salad

1 head of cauliflower

3 hard-boiled eggs

Raw Onion, chopped finely

Curled parsley, fresh,

1 tsp. dried dill

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup mayo

1 tbsp sugar

 

Roughly chop cauliflower into bite-sized pieces, then place in a pot of boiling water. You need enough water to cover the cauliflower. Cook until the cauliflower is fork-tender (or steam it for about 11 minutes on High in microwave)

Rinse cauliflower in cold water, drain well and then refrigerate for a few hours.

In the meantime, boil 3 eggs.   Remove the eggs and allow those to chill for a few hours as well.   Once the cauliflower and eggs are chilled, you can further chop the cauliflower and dice the eggs. If you're using pickles, dice those as well.  In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients until everything is covered. Refrigerate for another hour before eating.

11 vegetable salad - raw

 

Lovely RAW RAW vegetable salad .... 11 vegetables!!! 
 
raw carrot, grated
raw sweet potato, grated
raw broccoli, cut
raw brussels sprouts, sliced thinly
raw green beans, chopped
raw spinach, chopped
raw green bell pepper, chopped
raw snap peas, sliced
raw cabbage, sliced thinly
raw cauliflower, chopped
mushrooms 
 
Dressing: start with 
 
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
1 tablespoon oil
 
Mix it in a small bowl and microwave for a few seconds till the sugar has melted. Season your salad with salt & pepper and pour over the dressing. If you find the salad is too dry, just mix more of the 3 dressing ingredients.
 
Spoon into closed container and refrigerate. Best to do this few hours in advance - let the vegetables 'marry'.   Such a fabulous salad.
