Cauliflower is a very popular vegetable loved by many. There is an opinion that it is a culture artificially bred by Syrian breeders. Cauliflower is native to the Mediterranean. It was in this part of the world that this juicy and healthy vegetable first appeared.

The basis of the popularity of cauliflower is its incomparable taste, rather original appearance, useful properties and compatibility with almost all products. The last factor makes this type of cabbage very versatile. It can be used for cooking first courses, side dishes and, of course, salads.

Cauliflower salad can be attributed to those dishes that absolutely anyone, even the most inexperienced hostess, can handle. There are just a lot of recipes for making such salads. Some of them are very satisfying and high-calorie enough, others are dietary and very easy on the stomach, and still others have a rather spicy and unusual taste. Whatever it was, but a prerequisite for a delicious cauliflower salad is its correct choice.

Experienced chefs advise paying special attention when buying cabbage for two points:

1. Density of inflorescences. They should be tight and fit well together;

2. The surface of the inflorescences. If there are dark spots on their surface, then such cabbage is simply not worth buying.
