Recipe: Cauliflower and Avocado Salad
I've been trying out different raw vegetable salads since I tried and liked the Broccoli Salad. So I looked in my fridge and took out a bunch of ingredients and thought this would make for an interesting cold salad. The dressing really made this taste good and I'll definitely be using it again.
What You'll Need:
3 large cauliflower florets, cut into bite size pieces
1 Large broccoli floret, cut into bite size pieces
1/2 Red bell pepper, chopped
2 Tomatoes, chopped
2 avocados, chopped and divided
2 TBSP Cilantro, chopped
2 TBSP Fresh lemon juice
1 Green onion, chopped
1 tsp. mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. salt
What To Do:
Add the chopped cauliflower, broccoli, bell pepper and tomatoes into a large bowl and mix together. Add in 1 1/2 of the chopped avocados and mix together.
In a small bowl combine 1/2 of an avocado that's been chopped and use a fork to mash it really well. Add lemon juice, mayo, green onion, cilantro, and salt. Mix really well and pour over salad. Mix until salad is thoroughly coated and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. I added a little roasted sunflower seeds to my bowl of salad and I really liked that.
Does this sound like something you might try?

DeleteSounds easy to do, broccoli we'll at least take at our zoo.

DeleteLovely combination, friend ... always, cat.
ReplyDeleteThanks I'm glad you thought so I hope you get a chance to try it.
DeleteAll but the cilantro.
ReplyDeleteI love cilantro I put that stuff on everything.
DeleteI know I need to eat this, Marvelous Mary, but as you know cauliflower is not my fave. I would still have to substitute broccoli or something else, because the rest of the ingredients look pretty good. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteYou can substitute other vegetables and it will still be good.
DeleteCan I have chips with mine?
ReplyDeleteOf course.
DeleteI love avocado in a salad. Or even avocado on its own. We often just look in the fridge and pull out whatever we have to make a salad. I've never tried cauliflower raw though.
ReplyDeleteI've done that too. I hadn't heard of broccoli salad or cauliflower salad until I saw a recipe for it. It's actually really good.
DeleteSounds like a Southwest Winner Mary. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThis sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteIt really is.
DeleteYum! I love cauliflower... the Mister, not so much. I'll have to try this when he's not home.
ReplyDeleteI just make it for me since Ken doesn't like it. lol
DeleteThat looks really delicious, and mouth watering. Nicely done. Greetings!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteYou should whip up a bunch and give it away to all your followers on Freebie Friday!
ReplyDeleteIf you lived in Las Vegas, I would.
DeleteIf you love cauliflower, you should definitely try cauliflower paranthas...or as we call them, Gobhi Paranthas.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look up a recipe for that and try it. Thanks.
DeleteI like the idea of adding roasted sunflower seeds. Sounds like a great salad!
ReplyDeleteThanks. That really did add to the flavor.
DeleteYum I could make a meal out of this Mary.
ReplyDeleteOh me too.
DeleteI don't eat a lot of cauliflower, like never but I could try that
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice side dish.
DeleteThis looks really good, thanks for sharing it and have a wonderful weekend Mary!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend too.
DeleteOh man I still need to make the Broccoli Salad lol! Will add this to the list too.
ReplyDeletelol Hope you like it.
DeleteHmmm I do like cauliflower but I never eat it raw. I might have to try a semi-cooked version. Or even with some pasta added in. Noms! (minus the hateful herb, of course lol)
ReplyDeleteRaw cauliflower is great with different dips. Every time I make something and add cilantro I think of you. lol
