Cauliflower Salad

1 head cauliflower, chopped

1 c. celery, chopped

1 10 oz, pkg peas

1/4 c. sunflower hearts

1/2 c. raisins

4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (opt.)

1 c. mayonnaise

1/2 c. sugar

2 T. vinegar

Combine cauliflower, celery, peas, sunflower hearts, raisins, and bacon.  Mix mayo, sugar, and vinegar and pour over cauliflower mixture. refrigerate until ready to serve.

For those of you who make broccoli salad yes, this is pretty much the same.  I love broccoli salad but it doesn't like me so I substituted cauliflower and threw in some other ingredients too.  And if you are a fan of ranch dressing and you are in a hurry, you can substitute that for the mayo mixture and it is still good.

    I would never have thought of subbing cauliflower for the broccoli in this salad but I will now. It looks really good. I didn’t know what sunflower hearts were so I googled them and I still am not sure...are they just like sunflower seeds? I usually pick one recipe of someone else’s in the group to make each time but this week I think I’m going to need to make all of them.

      I think sunflower hearts is the same than sunflower seeds, but hearts as bird food and seeds for human. :-)

    Your dish is such an original use of cauliflower. It looks very appealing.

I didn't look up the carbs on it but I know that it is allowed on a diabetic diet.  Maybe  not in the quantities he would like but at least he can eat with everyone else and not worry. I made this pie to serve with roast chicken and all the trimmings.  Then I called my farmer son in law and our daughter to come eat with us.  They had been to the sale barn and came back hungry.  A win for us all.  We

Shell Beans

 Hi ladies, I am not going to even attempt posting a picture right now.  Shell beans are a limited season vegetable here.  I have to watch the garden carefully to catch the beans when the seed is fully formed but not dried out yet.  Then I pick the ones who have lots of pink in them and the pod feels like there are beans in it.  Allen and I think they are a delicacy but my farmers won't even touch them.   If you are curious as to how they look google tongue of fire beans or cranberry beans.  Actually almost any bean grown for  dry beans will work.  Just pick them before they dry out.  Lima beans are a good comparison.  We generally eat those before the seed dries out. Shell beans are delicious boiled in a little water, partially drained if necessary, and then heated again with cream or milk on them,  We eat them on mashed potatoes.  If I have a great abundance of them I also put them in vegetable soup. Ulriche, my husband's family came from Germany with pea bean seed.  I grew t
