Hi ,
Does anyone have a cauliflower salad recipe which they can recommend please.
I have 35 people coming for dinner tomorrow, and heaps of califlowers that are all ready at once, so a cauliflower salad will be one of my choices.
There are so many on the internet, but i,d love a recipe that's a family favourite please.

Thus is my favourite, from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. It is very simple to make. I know tomatoes are out of season but you don't need a huge quantity and the combination of flavours is great.
Cauliflower, Tomato & Caper Salad
serves 6 - 8
1 small cauli
300g ripe tomatoes
2 tab capers, rinsed
3 tab top quality extra virgin olive oil
juice of ½ lemon
salt & pepper
parsley to garnish
Cut cauli into small florets, boil 2 min until just tender. Drain well.
Remove seeds from tomatoes, chop roughly, add to cauli. Add rest of ingredients, leave at room temp at least 1 hour to develop.

This is an old family favourite, but not up to modern standards because of all the mayonnaise and sour cream. I'm even a bit hesitant to put it up on Foodlovers, but decided I would because it's at your discretion whether you use it or not. We love it and the curry powder and raisins make it (of course along with the dressing)!
CURRIED CAULIFLOWER SALAD
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream (or you could use Greek yoghurt)
2 teaspoons curry powder, or to taste (I use mild curry powder)
1 finely chopped onion
Parsley, chopped
1 uncooked cauliflower - cut into very small florets (tip of your little finger size)
1/2 cup raisins, add more if you'd like
Mix all ingredients together and let stand in fridge at least 3 hours before using. Sprinkle with a dusting of sumac or paprika before serving.
Regards,
Dawn.

Hi Irene! Yes the cauliflower stays hard and crunchy and I do include the stalks as well minus the outer skin. My description of the tip of your little finger means from the last joint to the tip or a bit bigger, meaning not to cut the cauli so small that you lose the florets in the dressing. Once you've made 'once', it you will know what size you want to use.
jj your suggestion of using bacon and chopped walnuts would also be really lovely - thanks for that idea.
Lynette, who is a Foodlover here, put up a recipe some years ago for Brocolli Salad which includes bacon and that also has become a firm favourite in our family. (Hi Lynette, and thank you!)

Dawn.

Haha correct Lorna, I have met both Irene and Lynette and you too You are all lovely ladies!!!! It was talking of raw cauli salad that made me think of broccoli salad so it was in hindsight that I mentioned Lynette's yummy salad as it is made with raw broccoli, but has a totally different dressing. I thought some Foodlovers may have a glut of broccoli and be interested. I was going to link the recipe, but I couldn't find it - I will have another go at finding the recipe and add the link.
Regards,
Dawn.
Edited to add the link - don't know why I couldn't find it in the first place [www.foodlovers.co.nz]

Mistaken identity! Lynette (or PNG Lynette as we used to know her by) I always had attributed the recipe to her and thought of her every time I made it. Now I will thank Lyn V (alias Lynette V) and always think of you when I make it especially as I've met you too! But yes, (PNG) Lynnette and Irene are still sisters, and no, Lynette and I are not. Confused?
Never mind!
Regards,
Dawn.
