Marinated Cauliflower Salad.
Looking for a unique healthy, yummy, fresh, light summer salad?
Especially after all those cookies recipes last week!
This one was a crowd pleaser with my family at the function I recently made it for. It’s a great different way to serve cauliflower, which we eat at least once a week in our house.
Hope you will give it a try and let me know. Here is how I made it.
Marinated Cauliflower Salad*
Marinade
- 6 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. olive oil
Salad
- 4-5 cups bite-sized cauliflower florets (approx. 2 small heads cauliflower)
- 2 cups diced red bell pepper
- 4 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Whisk marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Add to cauliflower in a large glass or plastic bowl and marinade in refrigerator for 4-8 hours or overnight.
Stir bell pepper and parsley into marinated cauliflower when ready to serve. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan.
Enjoy!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Is the cauliflower raw? I would like this but my crew might not eat this if its raw. Do you think it would work if it were roasted but still firm?

It is. Marinating does an amazing job at “softening” it! Might work well roasting too!

This sounds delicious and I love the way you have made this simple salad, Jodi. I too make but with broccoli and spring onions, mushrooms and I love adding tuna. It tastes awesome.

Yum! I’m surprised you didn’t parboil/blanch the cauliflower first? Does it soften with the vinaigrette?
