Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Disco and Cauliflower Salad


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! The theme is 'Disco'.  I did an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") inspired by John Travolta in the 70's (Saturday Night Fever). 

For the Dinner Date, I made a cauliflower salad similar to the way in which I would make a potato salad.  This is better for people who have to watch their carbs!

Ingredients

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dijon mustard 
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 cauliflower cut into florets
3-4 tbs of mayonnaise
1 tbs unsalted butter
1 tsp dried oregano

Directions

Boil cauliflower for about 15 minutes in salted water until fork tender.

  6. Good morning your recipe sounds delicious and I love your newest painting. You have inspired me to try painting again but on a smaller scale like the size you are using-I think may be less intimidating for me

  19. Oh how fun illustrating John Travolta's classic disco move! Fantastic job, Christine. I've not had cauliflower salad before. It's a really bland veggie but your recipe gives me hopes for improvement of its taste. Thanks for sharing!

  22. I remember that long ago movie.

    You made cauliflower fun. I only have riced cauliflower as a substitute for rice because I'm diabetic.

  23. You certainly captured the spirit of disco with this classic pose. Your cauliflower recipe looks delicious. Have a great weekend, Christine! Hugs to you!

  24. Love your disco drawing!!! ☺ Great idea to replace potatoes with cauliflower for a salad. It's very versatile. I made a cauliflower pizza dough once and it tasted great. Must do that again!
