Ingredients

• 4 cups Cauliflower florets
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Celery, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 2 pieces Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.

Step 3

Drain the cauliflower and let it cool completely. You can place the florets in an ice bath to speed up the cooling process.

Step 4

While the cauliflower cools, prepare the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

Step 5

Add the diced celery, red onion, chopped dill, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the bowl with the dressing. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Once the cauliflower has cooled, gently fold it into the dressing mixture, ensuring all florets are evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with paprika, if using, for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately or refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy!
