Wash the cauliflower, separate it into florets, and cut them into smaller pieces. Separately, peel the carrots and cut them as you like. Try to make pieces of a similar size to those of the cauliflower.

Cook the cauliflower and carrots in a pot of boiling water for 5-10 minutes, depending on the desired doneness. If you prefer to make the cauliflower salad raw, you can do that too! In this case, you can skip this step.

Drain the vegetables when they are ready and run them under cold water to stop the cooking. Place them in a bowl or salad bowl, add the chopped onion, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Then, prepare the mayonnaise by whisking the egg with the oil and add the indicated amount to the salad. To know the detailed steps, do not miss the recipe of homemade mayonnaise.

Tip: We recommend using red onion because it is one of the mildest onion varieties, ideal for raw consumption.

And that's it! You can now enjoy this delicious cauliflower and carrot salad recipe. We have opted for a cauliflower salad with mayonnaise. However, to make the dish lighter, you can permanently eliminate this sauce and replace it with a drizzle of olive oil. We can also include other ingredients and prepare, for example, a cauliflower and broccoli salad or a cauliflower and potato salad. The possibilities are endless!
