January 19: Crunchy Cauliflower Salad


Since my broccoli salad turned out so well, I thought I'd try one with cauliflower. While I preferred the broccoli one I did a few days ago, this was nearly as good.

Raw cauliflower is a favourite of mine, and when it's been soaking in a nice dressing it's even better. I added red onion for colour, and because I have company. I know other people enjoy them, but neither I nor my stomach is on board the onion train. I do like having them in certain salads just to flavour the dressing, but I don't actually eat them. My dad and my brother appreciated them, though I'm sure my dad is shaking his head at what a picky eater he raised.

Recipe: 1 medium head cauliflower, (cut out stem and break into small florets);1/2 a red onion,sliced;  1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds. Add dressing and refrigerate for and hour or 2 before serving.

Dressing: 1/2 cup mayonnaise, juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime, 2 teaspoon sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until foamy.
