This salad was inspired by the Cauliflower Mix Salad. I love to just throw together whatever I have in my refrigerator and often they become family favorites. I made this salad and hubby loved it, he just couldn’t get enough. Cauliflower with cucumbers and corn are such a great combination. Enjoy this salad with a Potato and Meat Casserole or if in a hurry a delicious Canape. Don’t forget a simple dessert to finish off the meal! Enjoy my friends.
This is a great salad to make ahead of time and refrigerate. Just mix before serving.

2 cups cauliflower florets
2 small cucumbers
1/2 red pepper
2-3 green onions

Directions:

When you say mayo do you mean real mayo or miracle whip?
Hi Lindsy,
Real mayo is what I used. However, if you prefer the taste of miracle whip, that can be used as well. Enjoy 🙂
Absolutely yummy! Just a few tweaks for my personal taste. I added a small, diced jicama. For the dressing, I added the zest and juice of a small lemon, about a T of prepared basil pesto, and about a T of prepared chunky garlic from a tube. A dash of Sriracha pepper, mixed the dressing and added to the veggies. This is most definitely a keeper recipe. All the better, because I used fresh veggies from a local farmer!! LOVE!
Oh my, Yvonne. Sounds superb!!!. Agree, fresh veggies are the best. You’ve got me craving your version.😋😋
192 calories per serving. I added cayenne pepper too. Tasted great!
Thank you Laurie. Mmm, love cayenne…
Absolutely delicious! I used fresh corn and added a little lemon juice to the mayo. This tastes like summer! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!!!
I love the fresh corn, Gretchen. Yumm!! So glad you enjoyed the salad, thanks for the feedback! ☺
For the salad I added zucchini as well as a red onion for a little bite and I roasted my corn for added sweetness. I then chopped up an array of fresh herbs consisting of full, chevril and French Savory and add d them to the raw vegetables to mingle the flavors. Then for a dressing in my vitamix I added a 1/2 cup of Almond milk a cup of nonfat Greek yogurt as well as a fresh avacado I then mixed everything together refrigerated overnight so all the flavors could mingle. The next day I served the salad with a nice white savigion blanc with notes of citrus such as lime grapefruit and lemon. It complimented the salad beautifully. The salad ingredients themselves were a fabulous base combination with the added touches it became a very nice accomplishment for salmon crab cakes as well as a black bean burger.
Danielle,
Your version sounds absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing. I’ll have to give it a try:)…
This isn’t even close to the same recipe.
Why would you completely redo it and then rate something that is so different?
Just wondering.
Agreed!
Yummers! Made half with Ranch dressing (ran out of mayo) and half with plain yogurt (my granddaughters preference) and both were delish!!
Oh Paula, your version sounds fantastic.. What a treat. Thank you so much for the feedback.
Added tomato and feta and olives . EXCELLENT!!!! Green onion puts it over the top.
Oh wow, Rick, I love your added ingredients. I will definitely be giving those a try. I can just taste the different the olives and feta gave, yum. Thanks for the idea and feedback.
Just made this…..soooo good!!!
That’s great to hear. Thanks for the wonderful feedback Erin☺☺..
I know totally and completely food presentation definitely tells a story wasn’t such a fan of dill in my younger years but @ I got older I began to have a love for it now I use it lots in salads and even cooking and quick dips spreads can’t wait to try
Wow valentinka this salad brings back such memories I remember when my mother made a salad similar to this one I was 10 years old and it was the Jewish holiday of shavout which means feast of weeks and mind you luv i was such a very picky eater but yet this salad I gobbled up super quick surprisingly I also liked it with the dill a very Russian thing @ a third generation American with Russian polish blood in our veins my mom and I love trying to recreate recipes that speaks of our family history always very important to keep your family heritage alive through religion and food kee it up gurl cheers
Love recipes that bring fond memories back. ? Dill, ha, yes, you must enjoy some dill if you have Slavic blood in you. I hope you’ll be just as fond of the recipe once you try it..☺
Added equal parts smashed avocado to mayo or yogurt . YUM!!
Oh WoW, that sounds so wonderful. Going on my to try list…
Hi, this recipe sounds delicious and I will definitely be making it very soon, I have one question though, does the cauliflower need to be cooked at all or does it have to be raw?
Thank you!!!
Mariam
Hello Mariam☺… No need to cook the cauliflower, just use it raw?? .
Hi! Do you think it would be OK to make it a day in advance and refrigerate? Thanks for the post! I can’t wait to try it!
Yes, definitely. Just keep it refrigerated. Mix before serving.?
p.s. Love your name…
Did you add fresh dill to the finished product? Trying to figure out what that is in the photos. Thx.
Yes, Tabitha, great eye! You can add some fresh dill to taste if desired. We love dill so we do:)
Could do this with brocolli / red onion , too–I am on it!
Ellen, yes… That’s a great idea… Mmmm… ???
Amazing recipe. Definitely going in my recipe book.. I added cherry tomatoes, so yummy..

Kids love making the videos, I wish I had time to do more.. (P.S. Sign up for our Newsletters, I share all kinds of neat things there☺☺..)
Ooh great idea for tomatoes??..
I made this tonight and loved it so much! For the dressing, I used mostly Greek yogurt with only a Tbs of mayo for the flavor. I also added a teaspoon of sriracha for a little kick. Looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow. 🙂
Thank you Marilyn. You’re a genius!! I absolutely love Sriracha and cannot wait to try your version!!! Thanks for sharing??..
I honestly have never eaten raw cauliflower. Could it be blanched first or should I be brave and give it a go ?? Cheers
Hi Christine, Ha.. I was just like you before, cauliflower and broccoli raw were an absolute no ;). Now I go out of my way to stick raw cauliflower wherever I can (search my salads tab, there is proof there, hehe:)..) Oh do give it a try, I think you’d be rather surprised! Also, try this SALAD it’s my absolute favorite salad, I can enjoy it once a week. 🙂
You can do this! 🙂
Absolutely fantastic!! I used light mayo and added fresh sweet peas and green onion. The perfect salad for parties! Thank you.
Oh I love your additions, I’m thinking I will try that too. Yes, light mayo will work as well.. Thanks Dariya☺..
It looks like there is dill in the salad picture, but it’s not listed in the recipe. Is there fresh dill added?
Kathy,
Ooops forgot that in the ingredients. Though optional, dill makes a great addition, I just add to taste. Thank you, enjoy.. 🙂
think greek yogurt would make a good mayo alternative?
Hi Sara. Honestly, I’ve never tried it but I don’t see why not. It would be a lot healthier that’s for sure. 🙂 Sorry that wasn’t very helpful..
What’s a good alternative to mayo with this recipe? Ranch?
Hi Katrina.. You can do sour cream and ranch or just ranch☺..
This looks so fresh and yummy! Perfect summer salad!
Thanks bunches. Great salad for summer parties:)..
