Ingredients

  • 1 piece Cauliflower, fresh

  • 3 spoons Oil, plant, sunflower

  • 2 teaspoons Vinegar, balsamic

  • 0.5 teaspoons Spices, turmeric, ground

  • 4 pinch Salt, table

  • 4 twig Dill, fresh

  • 1 spoon Flaxseed

Steps

  1. Clean the cauliflower and divide it into smaller florets, then place them in a pot. Add enough water to cover the cauliflower by about two fingers. Place the pot on the stove, wait for the water to boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pot and cook the cauliflower for another 5 to 10 minutes until it softens.

  2. While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the salad dressing. In a bowl, mix together oil, vinegar, turmeric, salt, and 3 tablespoons of the water in which the cauliflower is cooking. Wash the dill, shake it dry, and chop it.

  3. Drain the cooked cauliflower and place it in a salad bowl. While still warm, pour the prepared dressing over it, sprinkle with flaxseeds and dill, mix well, and let it sit for 10 minutes so the cauliflower absorbs the flavors. Serve the prepared salad.

Advice

Cauliflower stays beautifully white when cooked if you add a cup of milk or the juice of one lemon to the water. Salt the cauliflower after its cooked. If you salt the water its cooked in, the cauliflower will discolor during cooking.
