Mustardy Cauliflower Salad

Submitted by *Parsley*

"This is not quite as "heavy" as other cauliflower salads. It's creamy, but there's no mayo. Cook time is parboiling the cauliflower."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite sized flowerets
• 3⁄4 cup chopped red onion
• 2 celery ribs, diced

• DRESSING

• 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon grainy brown mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, to taste
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper, to taste

directions

1. Steam/boil the cauliflower flowerets for just 3-5 minutes (you just want them slightly parboiled -- like you would do to prepare them for freezing). Drain. Rinse w/ cold water; drain and cool.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, both mustards, lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper; set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, toss together the cooled flowerets, onion and celery.
4. Pour the dressing over veggie mixture and gently toss to evenly coat w/ dressing.

I had to thow this one out. I didn't like the combination of celery and cauliflower and the dressing was too strong. It could have been my fault because I used all Dijon instead of adding a tablespoon of grainy mustard (didn't have any).

We have started our barbecue season and I wanted to make a salad that I hadn't made before, this was a big hit. I used Splenda (upped it to about a dessert spoon) and the grain mustard I used was a honey grain. Very tasty, thanks for sharing

So easy and so good. I boiled the cauliflower a little to long, but it was still wonderful. I plan on using the dressing on coleslaw next. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This was really tasty! After I put this together it had a little too much bite for me so I added some shredded cheddar cheese and some bacon bits and it was perfect. My family likes mushy veggies so I boiled the heck out of them. I only needed half the sauce for the cauliflower. Thanks for sharing this!
