Win Guests Over With Cauliflower Dip & Bruschetta
Salvatore Cesareo ProfileLooking for new appetizer ideas to win guests over? Why not switch things up with a stylish cauliflower dip and bruschetta?
You may have dabbled with cauliflower on your veggie platters for dipping already but what about making an actual cauliflower dip? It is the chance to do something different, spark conversation and wow your guests with your culinary skills.
How do you get started with making your own cauliflower dip? Nothing could be easier. Simply boil up your cauliflower with some salt for about 10 minutes or until it is tender and then drain and mash it. Once you have your base you can really do anything with it. A great choice if you have vegetarian guests you need to cater to. You can keep it simple and just add a little garlic and truffle oil to be served with bruschetta or get creative as you like.
You can make it creamier yet keep it healthy and low fat by mixing it out with reduced fat sour cream and low fat yogurt. If you are craving something that really stimulates the taste buds and will win your guests over go for an Indian spiced flavor. One of the best cauliflower dip recipes for this is to sauté mustard seeds, onion, curry powder, and cilantro and add in nutmeg and cayenne pepper. Though using cumin, fenugreek, turmeric and a little lime juice will also have the flavors jumping off the plate and having everyone wanting to know how you made it. If you go with an Indian inspired cauliflower dip then also consider substituting pita bread chips for the bruschetta.
A more traditional American style cauliflower dip which is great for BBQs for those still enjoying warm weather simply calls for mixing your cauliflower with green onions, olives and mayonnaise. You can also go with a Southwest flavor by combining your pureed cauliflower with spinach, garlic, cheddar cheese and jalapenos.
If you haven’t made bruschetta before and want to give it a try to go with your cauliflower dip you will find it extremely easy. Simply roast slices of bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil.
Once you win your guests over with your cauliflower dip they will probably be expecting some more fabulous and creative cauliflower recipes from you next time you visit. If you find yourself short on ideas then why not add a Lebonese twist with pan fried cauliflower and Tahini sauce?
