Healthy Recipes Ingredients Healthy Vegetable Recipes Healthy Cauliflower Recipes Carolina Gelen's Shaved Cauliflower Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette & Parmesan 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews In her new cookbook, Carolina Gelen writes: “Some children grew up with fruit plates as a snack; I grew up with crisp, salted cauliflower to nibble on. My mom would always buy a bigger cauliflower than needed for a recipe since we’d munch on pretty much half of it before cooking. Heavily inspired by my mother’s cauliflower snacking plates, this simple shaved cauliflower tossed in a lemon vinaigrette was born. In a world where cauliflower seems to get relegated to replacing one carb or another, there’s something refreshing in letting cauliflower be its true self. Thinly shaved to highlight its pleasant crunch, the cauliflower may have a modest flavor but it’s perfectly paired with the punchy vinaigrette in this chic, monochromatic salad.” By Carolina Gelen Carolina Gelen Carolina Gelen is a wildly popular cookbook author and recipe developer whose recipes can be found on NYT Cooking, Food Network, Food52 and across social media.

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 3 tablespoons lemon juice, plus more to taste 3 cloves garlic, minced Pinch of kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 medium head cauliflower (about 2½ pounds) ⅓ cup shaved Parmesan cheese (see Note) Directions In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, a big pinch of salt, and lots of black pepper. Taste and adjust the salt and acid as needed. Slice the cauliflower head into 4 wedges. Using a mandoline and working over the bowl with the dressing, shave the cauliflower into ¼-inch slices. (If you don’t have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife instead.) The cauliflower will break up a little bit as you shave, dropping tiny florets and crumbs as you go; you can reposition the cauliflower wedge on the mandoline as you go, but don’t stress if not every slice is perfect. Toss and coat the cauliflower slices in the dressing. Transfer the dressed cauliflower to a serving platter and top with the shaved Parmesan. Top with more olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper and serve. Note To keep things dairy-free, you can skip the Parm and finely grate some walnuts all over. Their buttery, nutty flavor brings a whole new dimension to the salad.
