Serving Ideas

Cauliflower is just as good raw as it is cooked. Raw cauliflower can be eaten on its own or served with a dip; it is also used in appetizers and salads. Cooked, it can be eaten warm or cold, but it is better if still slightly firm. Good as a vegetable side dish, cauliflower can also be added to soups, stews, pasta, omelets or quiches. Cooked cauliflower can be pureed and added to soufflés and soups. It is also an ingredient in pickles, relishes, and chutneys. Cauliflower is prepared in much the same way as broccoli, with which it is interchangeable in most recipes.
