Creamy Cauliflower Salad | Salata de conopida

Hey guys! Sorry for the long break. I was super busy with school and work, projects after projects, I just didn’t have time to cook anymore. I even skipped breakfasts, which we all know it’s a bad thing. I’m hoping things will get back to normal now.

About this creamy cauliflower salad,  I’m not a big fan of cauliflower as I find it a bit tasteless and prefer broccoli instead, but this creamy cauliflower salad recipe is just perfect! I call it salad but it may as well be a dip or a spread. It’s a great appetizer, vegan and healthy. Also, the pickles go very well with cauliflower making this salad very refreshing.

I’m beginning to like cauliflower a lot! Since mom made this awesome Cauliflower and Cheese Casserole recipe I decided to eat it more often. I am actually planning to make a creamy cauliflower soup this week.

Nu ma omor dupa conopida, prefer mai mult broccoli, insa reteta asta de salata de conopida m-a facut sa imi schimb parerea. Salata de conopida e facuta de mama mea. Mi-a placut la nebunie! E cremoasa, un pic acra de la castravetii murati, si extrem de aromata. Se face si foarte usor si este perfecta pe post de aperitiv la petreceri.

O alta reteta cu conopida pe care trebuie sa o incercati este budinca cu branza telemea pe care o ador!
