Summery + Aromatic Cauliflower Salad

This tasty treat is quick to make + this version features a healthy sprinkle of Curry Powder. If that's not your fave, leave it out + add your favourite herbs!

Ingredients

• 1 small head of cauliflower
• 12 Cherry tomatoes halved
• ½ C peas fresh or frozen
• ¼ C bacon cooked + chopped, about 3 slices
• Plain Yogurt Greek or Krema or your choice
• 1-2 teaspoon curry powder divided
• Sea salt + black pepper to taste

Instructions

• Chop the cauliflower into flowerettes
• Put in a steamer pot to steam
• In the meantime, chop up the cherry tomatoes and add to a large bowl.
• Add the peas and the chopped cooked bacon.
• Add 1 teaspoon of curry powder
• Add salt and pepper to taste
• Remove the cauliflower from the heat and drain.
• Add the cauliflower to the bowl and allow to sit for five minutes before mixing.
• Combine the mixture
• Allow the mixture to cool a bit
• Add the rest of the curry powder
• Add the yogurt + stir well
• Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight
• OR enjoy right away.
• Optional garnishes:
• Sliced almonds, slivered basil, sunflower seeds, chopped fresh herbs such as cilantro, Italian parsley, dill etc

Notes

f you choose to use frozen peas, they will thaw quickly when you add the hot steamed cauliflower and allow to sit 5 minutes. We can change this up in so many ways. This is how i made the recipe yesterday. I did top with a sprinkling of fresh Italian parsley + slivers of basil, just prior to serving.

As I mentioned, I do love making goodies with this special veggie..
