Cauliflower-and-Broccoflower Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette

Becky Luigart-Stayner

Yield

8 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup salad and 1 egg wedge)

In the summer I make this salad with raw vegetables, but for a winter dinner, I prefer them lightly steamed. Also, healthful crucifers like cauliflower and broccoflower are in high season right now.

Ingredients

Vinaigrette:
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, chopped
Salad:
2 cups small cauliflower florets
2 cups small broccoflower florets
2 cups trimmed watercress (about 1 bunch)
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced green olives
1/2 cup chopped seeded cucumber
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon capers
2 hard-cooked large eggs, quartered

How to Make It

Step 1

To prepare vinaigrette, combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Set aside.

Step 2

To prepare salad, steam cauliflower and broccoflower, covered, 8 minutes or until tender. Drain and place in a large bowl. Stir in watercress and next 7 ingredients (watercress through capers). Drizzle vinaigrette over salad, tossing gently to coat. Serve with egg quarters.

Nice, different recipe. Didn't have broccoli, so substituted all cauliflower; doubled green pepper and cucumber, too, as didn't have watercress or celery. Dressing's a nice flavor but not too strong.
