Cauliflower Cole Slaw

Cauliflower Cole Slaw
I was in the mood for fish tacos, but instead of pairing them with a cabbage or carrot slaw, I made a cauliflower condiment.


I blanched the cauliflower in the microwave, separated the florets and set them in the refrigerator to chill for twenty minutes.

Then, I seasoned and pan-fried the tilapia filets, chopped some romaine, sliced a red onion, and made the dressing for the cooled cauliflower:

1/4 cup mayonnaise, and a teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder. Then 1/2 tsp. each of celery salt and mustard powder, 1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, and enough white sugar to give a sweet/sour balance (a tsp. or so). 


Well, you can certainly tell that I didn't do a lot of fussing with the plated photo this time. The sweet cauliflower was a nice accompaniment to the fish.
