Ingredients

2 eggs
1 small head cauliflower
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 shallots
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp dijon mustard
½ cup sundried tomatoes
salt & pepper
parsley for garnish

Instructions

Place the eggs in a pot of boiling water for 9-11 minutes until fully cooked. Then, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for a few minutes before peeling the shells. Once peeled, cut the eggs into bite-sized pieces and set aside to add to the salad later.
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and chop the head into small florets. Place the florets in a steamer basket and steam for 5-7 minutes or until the cauliflower is just tender. You don't want it soft. Remove the cauliflower from the steamer basket and drain thoroughly. Place the cauliflower in a large bowl to cool before adding the other ingredients.
Clean, pat dry, and chop celery, shallot, and sundried tomatoes into small pieces.
Add the vegetables and eggs to the bowl with the cauliflower.
Add mayonnaise and dijon mustard to the salad. Toss and mix completely.
Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish the dish with finely chopped fresh parsley.
Chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes or up to 24 hours. Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

TIPS:

Make sure all of your ingredients are fresh. You don't want to use vegetables that are beginning to spoil. And use fresh parsley, not dried. Wash and dry all produce well before you begin combining ingredients in the dish. Make sure you chop and mix everything well, so you will get even flavors in each bite!
