Simple Cauliflower Salad
4 servings
30 minutes
A simple cauliflower salad is an elegant dish of European cuisine that delights with its lightness and freshness. Cauliflower, with its delicate flavor and crunchy texture, undergoes gentle cooking while retaining its firmness. Lemon juice adds a refreshing tang to the salad, while olive oil makes it tender and aromatic. The simplicity of the recipe makes it an ideal choice for a light dinner or as a side dish to main courses. This salad is good on its own but can be paired with greens or nuts for added texture. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more vibrant its flavor becomes.
1
Clean the fresh cauliflower from the leaves and place it in boiling salted water. Let it boil for 10-15 minutes.
- Cauliflower: 1 piece
- Salt: to taste
2
The cabbage should not become soft; it should be cut with a knife and not fall apart on its own. Remove from the pot, let the water drain, and cool slightly.

Break into florets, place them in a salad bowl, drizzle with oil and fresh lemon juice, and mix.
