Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 4 pieces hard-boiled eggs
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 0.25 cup red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Chop the florets into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and blanch for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 3

Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into quarters or bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 4

Finely dice the red onion and chop the parsley leaves. Combine both in a large bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower to the large bowl with the red onion and parsley. Toss to combine.

Step 7

Gently fold in the dried cranberries and chopped eggs, being careful not to smash the eggs.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve cold or at room temperature. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
