Creamy Cauliflower Salad with Ham, Celery & Dill

Directions

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, then season lightly with salt.
2. While the water heats, rinse the cauliflower, celery, dill, and shallot, and pat them dry.
3. Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch pieces and trim the stems into small chunks.
4. When the water boils, add the cauliflower and a pinch of salt; cook until just tender, about 3 minutes, then drain and set aside to cool.
5. In a bowl, whisk together mayo, Dijon, red wine vinegar, and the listed spices to form a dressing.
6. Peel and mince the shallot and fold it into the dressing.
7. Roughly dice the celery and add it to the dressing bowl.
8. Strip dill leaves from the stems, mince, and add to the bowl with the dressing.
9. Dice the ham and fold it into the dressing along with the cooled cauliflower, stirring to coat evenly.
10. Taste and adjust with a pinch more salt or pepper if needed, then divide the salad into bowls for serving.
