Cauliflower Salad with Spicy Dressing

🇩🇪 Germany

Servings: 4 Prep: 15 minutes Cook: 10 minutes Total: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 kg cauliflower
  • 15 g flat-leaf parsley
  • 3 sun-dried tomatoes in oil (optional)
  • 1 small red onion (or 2 spring onions)
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp white wine or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp medium-hot mustard
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 pinch allspice (optional)
  • 25 g sliced almonds or chopped hazelnuts (optional, for serving)

Steps

  1. Trim the cauliflower and cut it into small florets. Wash in cold water and drain.
  2. Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot and cook the cauliflower florets for about 5 minutes (longer if you prefer it softer). Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.
  3. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic (or press the garlic). Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and the parsley.
  4. In a bowl, mix the vinegar, 2 tbsp water, mustard, honey, salt, pepper, allspice, garlic, and olive oil with a whisk until emulsified and creamy. Optionally add a little oil from the sun-dried tomato jar for extra flavor.
  5. Place the cooked cauliflower in a large salad bowl and mix with the dressing, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, and onion. Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving, and sprinkle with almonds if desired.
  6. Serve with fresh bread.

Notes

Pairs well with fresh bread.
