Cauliflower is a blank slate. No other vegetable is as versatile as cauliflower. I came up with this recipe after I made a batch of potato salad with slightly similar flavors so here it is.

Ingredients for about 8 servings

1 large cauliflower – broke down to florets and in a large bowl

1 apple – cut in cubes (about the size of two green peas)

3 Tablespoons dijon mustard

4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 Tablespoons hot sauce (preferably Frank’s Red Hot)

1 Tablespoon paprika

fresh ground sea salt to taste

fresh ground pepper to taste

2 Tablespoons scallions – sliced thin

Directions

Set oven to 375 degrees F

To your big bowl of cauliflower add the apples and set to the side.

In a small mixing bowl add the mustard. With either a fork or a whisk drizzle in the oil and whisk till the mixture emulsifies. Slowly stir in the vinegar until it combines. Slowly stir in the hot sauce until it combines. Drizzle the mixture over the big bowl of cauliflower. Mix well till it looks evenly coated. Add the paprika and stir some more.

Spread the mixture out on baking sheet(s) and put in the oven till the edges start to brown and the cauliflower is tender. (30-45 minutes) I did mine on three 1/2 baking sheets and maybe due to my oven’s uneven cooking mine were done in 30, 35 and 40 minutes.

Finish with salt and pepper to taste and a sprinkle of scallions.
