If you are in need of a quick salad or cold side dish, this Cauliflower and Corn Salad is just right for you. I learned this easy recipe from a Polish student of mine, back when I was pregnant and hungry for everything crunchy! It's delicious and crunch and ready to eat in under 10 minutes. Smacznego to you!

Yields6 Servings
Prep Time5 minsCook Time5 minsTotal Time10 mins
 1 head of cauliflower
 1 can of corn
 ¾ cup mayonnaise
 ½ cup yogurt (white, plain, or greek)
 ½ tsp white vinegar
 1 tbsp sugar
 salt and pepper to taste
 1 tsp herbs, fresh or dried (any or all of the following - parsley, chives, dill, lovage, marjoram, thyme, savory, tarragon)
1

Mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper, and herbs in a large bowl to create the dressing. Give it a taste and adjust your ingredients to your taste. If you like a sweeter dressing, add some more sugar, If you like a more sour dressing (especially with something sweet such as corn), add a little bit more vinegar. Let the dressing sit and stir again before adding the vegetables. This ensures that the sugar is fully dissolved.

2

I like to use a pre-packaged dried herb mix aptly named - Herbs of the Polish Kitchen. It includes parsley, chives, dill, lovage, marjoram, thyme, savory, and tarragon. Sometimes I make the salad with dill only. Choose the herbs you like best. I'm sure it will be tasty.

    Tried it yesterday – I usually make it with chopped tomatoes instead of corn, but I liked the corn version, sweet and crunchy. Thanks!

        i dont have any yogurt so I am going to make it with sour cream instead. I would love to find that specific herb pack though.

          I bring those packs to my family and friends when I visit the US, those and jars of mustard. They love them. I hope your salad turned out great. Smacznego!
