CREAMY CAULIFLOWER "POTATO" SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until the cauliflower is soft and releases easily when pierced with a knife, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander and spread out on a baking sheet. Pat the cauliflower dry with a clean kitchen towel or a paper towel, then set aside and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, horseradish, mayonnaise, chives, cider vinegar, celery, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
• Fold the cauliflower into the dressing and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

FULLY LOADED CAULIFLOWER SALAD

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. When cool, crumble into bacon bits.
• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Combine the cauliflower, olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper in large bowl. Spread the cauliflower on the foil-lined baking sheet, and roast in the preheated oven until the cauliflower is lightly browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool.
• Place the cooled roasted cauliflower, sour cream, and mayonnaise in a large bowl; stir. Fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese, bacon bits, green onion, chives, pepper sauce, and paprika. Adjust salt and black pepper. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before serving.

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SALAD

Steps:

• Break the cauliflower up into florets, then steam it for 10-20 minutes- how firm you prefer the cauliflower is up to you (after having made this the first time, I've decided to leave it firmer for next time; the taste of very soft cauliflower in the salad is wonderful, but the texture was a little mushy).
• Mix together all ingredients except the cauliflower.
• When cauliflower is done, while still warm fold it into the mayo mixture- it makes it taste better to combine while warm.
• Put into serving container and garnish.
• Refrigerate for at least three hours before serving- the longer the better- the flavor is even better then next day!
• Notes from Julie: I use the dried minced onion because I like the texture, and omit the celery; some people might prefer sweet pickles and/or Miracle Whip, but eew, not me.
• Also, if you haven't had the chance to try Vegenaise, do so (even if you're not vegetarian); it tastes just like Best Foods and at a fraction of the calories and fat (20% lower in fat), and because it contains no dairy or egg product you don't have to worry about it going bad while sitting out at a picnic or potluck.
