Salad Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower (steamed until tender)
- 2 stalks Celery (chopped)
- 1 medium Onion (diced, yellow or white)
- 1 cup Dill Pickles (diced)
- 3 large Hard-Boiled Eggs (chopped, reserve one for garnish)
Dressing & Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Pickle Juice
- 1 cup Mayonnaise (or avocado mayonnaise)
- 1 tablespoon Mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1 teaspoon Dill Weed (or fresh dill)
- 1 teaspoon Celery Salt (use regular salt if needed)
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Garnish
- 1 hard-boiled egg (sliced)
- Fresh dill weed
- Paprika
Instructions
- Steam Cauliflower: Chop the cauliflower into 1/2-inch florets and steam for about 8 minutes until tender but still firm. Drain well and set aside allowing it to dry completely to avoid watery salad.
- Prepare Veggies and Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped celery, diced onion, and diced dill pickles. Add pickle juice, mayonnaise, and mustard. Sprinkle in dill weed and celery salt, then mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Combine Salad: Gently fold in the steamed cauliflower florets and chopped hard-boiled eggs into the dressing mixture. Season with salt and pepper to your taste preference, mixing carefully to keep the cauliflower intact.
- Garnish and Chill: Slice the reserved hard-boiled egg for garnish. Sprinkle fresh dill weed and a dash of paprika on top for added flavor and color. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cauliflower is well dried after steaming to prevent a watery salad.
- Using avocado mayonnaise is a great option for a healthier fat choice.
- Adjust celery salt and regular salt according to your taste and dietary needs.
- This salad tastes best after chilling for at least half an hour to enhance the flavors.
- Can be garnished with additional paprika or fresh herbs like parsley for extra color.
