Cauliflower Nacho Taco Salad Recipes

CAULIFLOWER "MEAT" NACHOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Cut the cauliflower in half and break it into small florets.
• Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they break down to rice-size pieces. Remove from the processor and set aside.
• Add the mushrooms to the food processor and pulse until broken down to rice-size pieces.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for about 4 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
• Add the cauliflower, mushrooms, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper and stir. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the cauliflower and mushroom mixture is tender and the water released from the mushrooms has evaporated.
• Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
• Add the tortilla chips to an oven-proof dish.
• Load with the cauliflower "meat" and other toppings of your choice. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
• Bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
• Let cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with cilantro and serve.
• Enjoy!

CAULIFLOWER "POTATO" SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain well and cool to room temperature.
• Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Then add the cooled cauliflower, pickles, dill, eggs, celery and shallot. Mix until thoroughly combined. Serve at room temperature or cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

CHEESY CAULIFLOWER NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss together the cauliflower, oil, taco seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, juice half of the lime into a small bowl, then cut the other half into 4 small wedges. Stir the sour cream into the lime juice until smooth. Finely dice the avocado and sprinkle it with a little salt and juice from 1 lime wedge. Thinly slice the jalapeño crosswise. Place the refried beans in a small bowl and mash with the back of a spoon to soften them. Set all the toppings aside until ready to serve.
• Push the baked cauliflower to the center of the baking sheet. Dollop the refried beans (about 1 tablespoon per dollop) over the top, then sprinkle evenly with a little salt and with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the beans are warmed through and the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Drizzle the salsa verde and lime sour cream over the cauliflower nachos. Top with the avocado, jalapeño and cilantro. Sprinkle with a little black pepper. Serve with the reserved lime wedges for squeezing.
