No Tuna-Melt/Cauliflower Salad

No Tuna Melt

Cauliflower Salad (recipe follows)
bagels, halved
nayonnaise
alfalfa sprouts
fresh tomato slices

Prepare cauliflower salad.
Toast bagel halves.
Spread bagels with nayonnaise and top with alfalfa sprouts, cauliflower mixture, and fresh tomato slices.


I sometimes call this "Cauliflower Sandwich Spread", because it's not something you would really eat on its own. It's just like tuna or egg salad, only it uses cauliflower. Use the ingredients you would normally put in those salads, or use my recipe:

Cauliflower, steamed
Nayonnaise
Dijon mustard

Mash steamed cauliflower.
Add mayo and mustard to taste.


Variation: Broccoli Salad 

You can make the same thing with steamed broccoli, which Dan really likes, but I don't like as well. In addition to substituting the cauliflower, I sometimes sprinkle in some nutritional yeast to give it a little cheesy flavor and leave out the mustard.


Variation: Tofu No Egg Salad 

To make something that really tastes like Egg Salad, drain and press tofu (I often do this with any leftovers I have from an opened package), mash, then add nayonnaise and whatever ingredients you would normally put in egg salad. I add a little yellow mustard, a dash of apple cider vinegar, and lots of sweet pickle relish.
