Creamy Cauliflower Salad

This creamy cauliflower salad is a great appetizer that can be served as a dip or a spread, even though I like to call it a salad. 🙂 

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.
