Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small head of cauliflower (stem removed (equal to 4 cups chopped))
water for boiling
pinch salt
1/2 to 3/4 cup finely chopped red onion (adjust to taste)
1 whole or 2 cloves of garlic (finely minced, optional*)
1 whole or 2 finely chopped jalapeno peppers
1 whole finely chopped serrano pepper (optional**)
1/2 Tablespoon ground wakame***
1 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste)
2 cups chopped Roma tomato (about 3 medium tomatoes)
3/4 cup finely chopped cilantro (I used the leaves and stems)
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
To Serve: chips or saltines and/or tostadas

Steps:

  • Remove the stem from the cauliflower and then carefully separate the individual florets from the upper part of the stem. You can save the hard stems for stock or composting. Chop the small florets into small odd shaped pieces but that are still similar in size.
  • Bring about 6 cups of water to the boil, add some salt then carefully drop in the bits of chopped cauliflower and parboil or blanch for about 3 to 4 minutes. You want it to have soften a bit but not turn completely soft and mushy. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  • In a large glass mixing bowl add the rinsed cauliflower bits, then begin mixing in the onion, garlic if using, the chile peppers, wakame, and salt until well combined. Then add the chopped tomatoes and mix to combine. Next, add the cilantro and again mix, lastly add the lime juice and mix well. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • After marinating taste and if needed adjust the seasoning as desired. Serve as an appetizer with corn chips or saltine crackers or with tostadas. Enjoy!
