Caraway and cauliflower are a match that brings to mind wursts, kraut and foamy, cold mugs of beer. Alas, not everyone loves that caraway flavor so leave out the caraway seeds if you prefer--the salad's wonderful either way.

I love this salad great alternative to potato salad and less calories. The only thing I do differenlty is to partially cook the cauliflower for about 3 minutes in boiling water. I found the texture and taste to be much more pleasing than the raw cauliflower. Read More

This is delicious! The first time I made it I didn't have shallots or carraway seeds - don't skip those ingredients. They make a big difference in the flavor. Julia Chicago IL Read More

Loved it! We all loved it - my husband teenage daughter and me!! I used more caraway seed than the recipe called for and I also added sunflower sprouts because I had them. Also added two slices cut into small bits of an uncured turkey bacon. Definitely a keeper and would be great for a pock luck Pros: Simple Low Calorie Cons: None Read More

My husband and I really enjoyed this salad. We did not have mayo and I was not in the mood to make it from scratch so I used 3 tablespoons plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons sour cream instead. I also added a few splashes of hot sauce and a pinch of ground mustard -- these are ingredients in my homemade mayo that I thought might complement this dish. It was a success! Our 15-month-old son also enjoyed it. Read More

It was really good and a great way to include cauliflower with the dinner for the whole family. I'd suggest using a bit more vinegar in the dressing for those anti-mayo types. Annie Portland ME Read More

Trying to cut calories and fat even more I substituted greek yogurt for the mayo and I loved it but next time I might cut down on the vinegar. I used spinach instead of romaine and I would do it again. I thought the yogurt worked well with the apples and I put some salt in to help it seem a little more savory. Adding dried cranberries or something similar would work well with it too. All in all it was fast easy tasted great and you knew it was healthy. Read More

This was fantastic! I was a bit skeptical while preparing but was pleasently surprised with the outcome. As previously said the mayo is not overwhelming at all and paired amazingly with the apple. I also used scallions instead of shallots and it seemed to work out. I used frozen cauliflower instead of fresh to save a bit of money and it wasn't bad. Probably would be better with fresh but I would make it again using frozen in a pinch. Left out the Caraway seeds and added the ground mustard. This may be one of my favorite new recipe's. Read More
