There is so much to love about this crunchy refreshing Cauliflower Salad!  For starters, fresh plump English peas, are just lightly blanched and give it the best texture. Cauliflower is shaved, or very thinly sliced, in its raw state, along with Turkish cucumbers,  radishes, and lots of fresh mint, parsley, and scallions. Everything is tossed in a tangy lemony, garlicky yogurt dressing and marinates.
The salad can be made ahead and tastes great the next day, and surprisingly even the next and next!

Prep all the veggies… Shave the cauliflower. If you don’t have a mandolin, just chop into thin, bite-sized pieces.

Make the flavorful yogurt dressing.

Then gently fold the yogurt dressing into the veggies.

Make sure to let the salad rest 15 minutes before serving, so the salt and lemon juice are absorbed by the veggies (otherwise, it will seem too salty). You are basically marinating the veggies here.

This salad gets better over time. 😉

After the salad rests for 15-20 minutes, serve. Or refrigerate for a few hours before serving.

It keeps up to 2 days in the fridge.

Garnish with aleppo pepper and microgreens.

The salad is quite “juicy” – perfect for mopping up with fresh crusty bread.

  1. I’m going to make this for a party in a few weeks. Looks so delicious. I was wondering how thick you sliced the cauliflower, 1mm or thicker? I will use a mandoline.
    Thanks!

  3. After 5 years of reading Feasting at Home – this might be one of my all time favorite recipes. It’s just delightful to the tastebuds- and so absolutely chocked full of healthy.






  4. I absolutely loved this salad, so fresh!
    As I was using up ingredients already to hand, I subbed frozen peas and broad beans for the fresh peas and parsley for the mint.
    We had it as a side for one meal with sumac roasted beetroot and chickpeas and for lunch the next day with pitta.
    I was pleased to have a little left for a lunch side.
    Definitely planning to use this again. Would be great at a bbq.






  5. Wow! What a refreshing summer salad. Salad is currently in the fridge to let the dressing infuse the veggies. Had a taste and it’s delicious! Thank you.
