Cauliflower salad was the recipe in my first blog post almost a year ago. I was so thrilled that I figured out how to assemble a photo and a recipe that it didn't matter that the only comment I received was from my sweet daughter who was helping me figure out the whole comment thing. I know this is similar to a popular broccoli salad, but I think it's so much better with cauliflower and is perfect for hot summer days when we need something light yet hearty. The flavors blend beautifully and the crunch factor is perfect.
So click here if you would like the recipe and a peek at my first blogging attempt. Looking back at this recipe helps me remember that my photos have gotten a little better over time (a frustration point for me). In this old post I don't have a photo of the finished salad because, out of the dozens I took, not a single one turned out. If you've never tried this salad I hope you will because it's delicious, and if you've only made it with broccoli, do try the cauli. I know you'll love it.
I always want to add more cauliflower into my diet. Love the idea. If I leave the peas out, hubby might eat it too.

I have been wanting to find a cauliflower salad recipe...I love this veggie and would like more ideas for it, so thanks for posting this delicious looking salad!
ReplyDeleteI love the dish also, it's so pretty and really sets off your salad!
What a sweet post:) I don't even know if I want to look back:) Jain made me do it:) So glad she did~
ReplyDeleteI'll make this Cathy!
I love the way you assembled it to look like the original head of cauliflower! Gorgeous, Cathy. And seriously - I don't think your first post was that tragic! :D The photos you did post then are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love the flavors in this salad. I can't wait to try it -
Cathy, I'm so happy you began blogging! I enjoy everything you share very much, (including this recipe, which I must have missed the first time around.)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to making it very soon. :)
It's rewarding to look back and see how our photography has improved with time and experience... (some of my early pictures make me grimace when I look at them now). Yikes!
xo~m.
This will be the next big salad I make -- I love vegetable salads but some make more than others and cauliflower is a BIG vegetable!
ReplyDeleteI do make the broccoli one all the time but have never thought of using cauliflower -- great idea!
I love cauli! This is lovely Cathy and a great new way to experience one of my faves! Thank you.
ReplyDeletewhat a great salad
ReplyDeleteI actually enjoy cauliflower more than broccoli and always reach for that first on a crudites platter! I know I will love this :)
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful leaf plate you served your salad on! Great picture!
ReplyDeleteIt's recipes like this that make me wish my husband liked cauliflower. It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI like caulifl..not broc, but I will eat it that broc salad recipe that has been around.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! And I have a cauli right now..
I think we all have improved...Monique taught me how to get the flash off, and the macro setting..but I am still learning..
Your blogger bday is coming up Sept 8th! A party for sure!
Love cauliflower...I will be making this salad for sure...
ReplyDeletesoon the farmers market will have little tiny ones...I love them!
Thanks...your salad looks wonderful!
It's so hard to believe that you've been blogging for nearly a year, Cathy. The salad, then and now, sounds delicious. You keep getting better and better, so promise you'll never stop.
ReplyDeleteAaahhh, thanks to you all for stopping by. I can't imagine life without blogging. I've met so many wonderful friends. And its fun to share favorite recipes.
ReplyDeleteoh this is beautiful, i bet the cauliflower is great in this salad!
ReplyDeleteCauliflower is such an amazing vegetable. I know this must be an improvement over the broccoli. It looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat's how my friend, Alanna, convinced me to start blogging. "You'll learn so much," she said. So true! So true!
What a terrific change up. Love the idea of using broccoli.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know I made the Lemon Pudding cups this Sunday for dessert and everyone loved them. If you get a chance, go on The Pioneer Woman's website and try her recipe for "baked fudge". It's very similar, cooked in a water bath, and not as heavy as the title sounds. Just delicious too! Thanks Cathy!

Hi Nancy - I'm so happy to read that you enjoyed this recipe. I will check out the chocolate version. I've never tried it but I'm sure I will like it too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely salad. Love the colour combination ad presentation. Thanks very much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a healthy start to the year! I hope to eat more healthy this year. I also always look back to my old recipes to cook them again. Sometimes I forget :P
