You will need (for 3 portions):

For the salad:

• 1 head of cauliflower
• salt and pepper
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 hardboiled eggs
• 5 oz celery, cubed 
• 1 red onion, diced

For the dressing:

• 3/4 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tbsp mustard
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• juice from half a lemon

Here's how:

Cut the cauliflower florets into bite size pieces and discard the stalk.

Spread the florets onto a baking tray, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly and then bake at 390 °F for 15 minutes.

Cut the eggs and add them to a large bowl with the baked cauliflower florets, the celery and the onion.

Now for the dressing: add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl or a salad dressing bottle and stir (or shake!) until a smooth consistency is achieved.

Pour the dressing over the salad and give it a good few turns with a spoon until well coated.

Once more, cauliflower proves its versatility. This creamy and crunchy salad will have everyone at the neighborhood picnic asking for the recipe. Send them here! ;-)
