Raw Cauliflower Salad with Mustard Dill Dressing

I love summer food. It’s easy, fresh, delicious and bursting with flavors that you only get when produce is in season. Tomatoes are sweet and juicy, cauliflowers from the farmer’s market are fresh and firm, and everything just seems to taste a little better.

Raw, Vegan Cauliflower Salad with Dill Dressing

These days, I am making recipes that are nutrient dense and have greatĀ health benefits. The food is not as “sexy” as some of the things you find on the internet but with the “sexy” has come a whole new category of food that is presented as healthy but is anything but. I see far too many raw and vegan recipes that are filled with sugar, fat and unhealthy ingredients.

My focus has shifted back to simpler food that celebrates a cauliflower just as it is, but with amazing taste and appeal.

Today’s salad is super easy, very nutrient dense, refreshing and delicious. Featuring cauliflower, one of our hard working cruciferous vegetables, this salad picks up more nutritional points with the addition of cucumber and tomato! The dressing is full of flavor and whips up easily in the blender.

    Hi Susan, I just came across your website when looking for a recipe with miso-soup (you made one with kale, and it looked very healthy and nutritious)! Then I saw this picture with the cauliflower salad and now I am wondering, if instead of the dry mustard powder I may use normal mustard (or I also have some mustard seeds, but I don’t know how to process them, because they are very hard). Then I just wanted to ask what is coconut aminos (I live in Switzerland and never heard of it before…)? May I substitute it with something similar?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help!

    I love the bowls as well. Checked the Crate and Barrel website … none showing. Can you please let me know where you got these?

      Hi, Alexandra, I checked the bottom of the bowl and it did indeed come from Crate and Barrel. Maybe they don’t sell them anymore? I probably bought it a year ago. Cheers!

      If you can’t have cashews you could try tahini instead if you are able to eat this

        Tahini has a distinct taste that the cashews don’t have. You can substitute with tofu (not raw) or another nut, like macadamia or pine. Cheers!

    Do you blend walnuts into the dressing too? Or are they only topping?

      Hi, Zin, The walnuts go on the top, not in the dressing. Cheers!

        Mustard powder in dressings pack a wonderful flavor, I just love the idea of this dressing all over those lovely, healthy vegetables.

        There’s some serious crunch factor there with those walnuts, the cauliflower and cucumber. I’d imagine this would be a really good craving food to help keep away from more unhealthy snack choices.

        Dill really compliments mustard too, so you’re onto a winner here.
