May is National Salad Month and we've asked our staff to share some of their favorite salad recipes! Enjoy this Kurpeikis family favorite shared by Kathy Kurpeikis in State College… Cauliflower Salad!
Send us a message and let us know what you think! Maybe, just maybe, our staff with the most comments will get a prize! Shh... don't tell them.
I received this recipe from my best friend in 1986. It was an instant favorite in my family. Since that time I have served it for both special occasions (graduation parties, holidays, etc.), as well as when we are just hungry for it! My friend passed away in 2008--yet every time I make this salad or one of the other many recipes she gave me--I feel a connection. Recipes are for sharing! Glad to share this favorite salad recipe with our Atlas community.
