Ingredients
- 400 grams cauliflower florets
- 1 large cucumber
- 200 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a boil.
Step 2
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and blanch for 3-5 minutes until they are tender yet slightly crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
While the cauliflower cools, wash the cucumber thoroughly and peel it if desired. Slice it thinly into rounds or half-moons depending on your preference.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Add the cooled cauliflower, cucumber slices, and fresh dill to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated in the dressing.
Step 6
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill, if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving for a colder, more refreshing salad.
