Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and steam or boil them for 5-7 minutes, until they’re fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool completely.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 4

Add the cooled cauliflower, chopped celery, red onion, pickles, fresh dill, and hard-boiled eggs to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
