Cauliflower Onion Salad with mustard seeds

Step by step recipe of cauliflower onion salad with photos. These days, I’m doing a series of simple salads posts with one major vegetable ingredients. The point is that in everyday’s chaos no one has time to buy a myriad of vegetables and sauces and put them in salad. Or while making your favorite salad you run short on ingredients. Sometime, your ingredients are not fresh and salad needs fresh and crunchy veggies.

So simple quick recipes of salads with one major ingredients are handy for healthy lifestyle and for weight watchers. And you don’t get bored with these salads as everyday you are having different salad with not only different dressing but different ingredients.

This cauliflower and onion salad is a simple salad and can be prepared in less than 10 minutes. Cauliflowers get rotten very quickly so best way to store them is to steam them and store in air tight jar in a fridge. Then use within three days. So when my cauliflowers are steamed, the salad making is a quick business.

Benefits of Cauliflower

Cauliflower is an anti-cancer vegetable like broccoli. It is rich in calcium and vitamin A and K. It is also anti inflammatory and anti oxidant, which makes it great for boosting immune system, heart health and overall body appearance.
