Raw caulifower, like raw broccoli, has a crisp texture and a milder flavor than when cooked. They're excellent in salads rich with lots of flavors, and have a particular affinity for nuts and raisins. And, for those not averse, a bit of crispy bacon, crumbled and mixed in, is quite nice, too.
Ingredients:
- 6 cup cauliflower or broccoli florets, or a combination
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup walnuts
- ½ cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 apple, diced (peeling optional)
- ¼ cup crumbled crispy bacon
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp. cider vinegar
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar until thoroughly combined. Toss the remaining ingredients together, and coat evenly with the dressing. Serve chilled.
