Cauliflower Egg Salad

Potato Salad is a staple in the South. At one cookout, there could be 4-5 different potato salads! I don’t know that there is an occasion where potato salad wouldn’t be accepted. According to my Digestive Health Test results, my body doesn’t digest potatoes well. Which is a bummer because I love potato salad as much as the next person. So, I created the best of both worlds! Potato-less Potato Salad! Yep, you heard that right. We’re going to use that vegetable that can replace almost anything, cauliflower. Check out this Cauliflower Egg Salad recipe!

1 head of cauliflower (steamed or boiled)

3 boiled eggs

1/3 cup (appx) veganaise

3 tbs of mustard

3 tbs of pickle relish

1/8 cup of chopped raw onion

salt and pepper to taste

 

Directions:

Steam or boil cauliflower and set aside

Boil 3 eggs

Mix all together

Maple Pecan Cauliflower

/in

Maple Pecan Cauliflower is my go-to for a quick healthy lunch. There is a big debate in the south on the proper way to say pecan. Some pronounce it “P-can” and others, “P-con”. Some would even debate how I spelled the pronunciation! But, I think everyone can agree that you either love them or hate them. And boy, do I LOVE them. If you’re like me and love pecans, you are going to love this maple pecan cauliflower recipe.

This dish makes a great side, lunch, or you can make it a complete meal by serving it with rainbow quinoa. I first experienced a similar dish in my Green Chef subscription as a side and I knew I had to have more! It makes a perfect light lunch and has become one of my go-to’s when working from home. I absolutely love the blend of flavors in it.

Be sure you are using pure or organic maple syrup. Did you know that maple syrup is made in early spring? When it’s warm enough for the sap to flow but cold enough that it isn’t moving too fast. Farmers all through the woods are tapping and processing the clear sap that turns into our delicious syrup. If you’re lucky, you’ll find some for sale at your local farmer’s market. It doesn’t get more organic than that and if you follow me, you know that organic products are key to remaining healthy. The conventional brands are mostly high fructose corn syrup and other unpleasant ingredients. Of course, you can increase or decrease the maple syrup to suit your taste.

Ingredients:

2 cups of chopped raw cauliflower

2 tbsp pure maple syrup

1 tsp turmeric powder

3 tbsp pecans

Instructions:

Cut cauliflower into bite-size pieces and roughly chop pecans. Heat about 1 tbsp of cooking oil, such as coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower to a hot pan. Season with turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat. Cook for 5-8 minutes or until cauliflower begins to soften, stirring occasionally.

Add the maple syrup and a couple of tablespoons of water to the pan with the cauliflower. Stir and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes or until cauliflower is tender and evenly coated with maple syrup.

Sprinkle with pecans. Cook about 1 minute or longer or until pecans are lightly toasted.

And enjoy!!
