Mustardy Cauliflower Salad Recipes

MUSTARDY CAULIFLOWER SALAD

Steps:

• 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.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, both mustards, lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, toss together the cooled flowerets, onion and celery.
• Pour the dressing over veggie mixture and gently toss to evenly coat w/ dressing.

MUSTARD-PARMESAN WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, then trim the stem flush with the bottom of the head so the cauliflower sits flat on the prepared baking sheet. Rub the outside of each head with the cut garlic.
• Whisk together the oil, 3 tablespoons mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl.
• Put the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and brush the entire outside and inside with the mustard-oil mixture. Roast the cauliflower until nicely charred and tender (a long skewer inserted in the center of the cauliflower should pass through easily), 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let rest for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the parsley and Parmesan in a small bowl. Brush the outside of the roasted cauliflower heads all over with the remaining 1 tablespoon mustard and generously sprinkle with the Parmesan mixture.
• Cut the cauliflower into thick wedges and serve on plates with a sprinkle of salt, lemon wedges and any extra Parmesan mixture.

CAULIFLOWER SALAD

Steps:

• Cook cauliflower in salted water until tender crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain and drop in a bowl of cold water to cool quickly. Drain.
• While cauliflower cooks, mince parsley and chili. Mix all dressing ingredients except oil until well blended, mix in oil and taste. Dressing should have a nice tang but not be too acidic. Add more sugar if nessecary.
• Toss cauliflower with parsley, chili and dressing in a large salad bowl. To allow flavors to blend let salad rest for at least 15 minutes before serving or keep in the fridge up to 24 hours. Serve at room temperature.
