Nancy’s Cauliflower Salad

May 17, 2010 | Filed Under Cauliflower, Foods I Never Liked Before Until I Started to Cook, Mari's Cakes blog, Salad 


 

I love cauliflower.  I don’t know when that happened because I never liked them before.  Certainly, not as a child or a young adult.  I suspect that I fell in love with them after I started learning how to cook.   There are a few foods that fall in that category for me. 

Here’s an easy cauliflower salad recipe I found on Mari’s Cakes.  It’s a salad made by Mari’s sister, Nancy.  I like that I can make this salad without the potatoes for a low caloric salad, as Mari suggests.  The second time I made this salad, I added paprika and bits of ham.  Very nice!  Thanks, Nancy and Mari for this recipe!

    You know what, Ethan, just like you, loves to eat cauliflower. I’ve always wanted to come up with some new recipes to cook with cauliflower.
    This salad is a perfect choice!

    I love cauliflower, but always eat is hot. I should follow your advice and try it in a salad.

    Hi Paz,
    I’m glad you try another version. I started do this salad
    because I start a diet & it had everything I need when I’m on the go.
