Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions or red onion

Instructions

  1. Wash the cauliflower and potatoes thoroughly. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and peel and cube the potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and cook for about 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, add the cauliflower florets so they cook together but the cauliflower stays a little firmer. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, turmeric, salt, and pepper until smooth and golden.
  4. In a large bowl, gently toss the cooked potatoes and cauliflower with the dressing. Add the chopped fresh dill and scallions or red onion. Mix carefully so the potatoes hold their shape.
  5. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
  6. Serve immediately at room temperature or chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

Do not overcook the potatoes to avoid mushiness. Add cauliflower halfway through boiling to keep it firm. Whisk turmeric dressing thoroughly to avoid clumps. Chill salad for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or cashew yogurt. Optional additions include peas, bell peppers, or shredded carrots. Roasting vegetables instead of boiling adds deeper flavor.
