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.

Elvis other times, lucky the older ones who lived through them, amazing idea. Yes, cauliflower salad is a good option for those who don't want to eat carbs. Have a great day!

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

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!

I could tell what inspired you before I read your words.

I remember that long ago movie.

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

Fundy Blue said...

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

Rain said...

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!

That's great, I started singing the theme as soon as I saw your art. Loved the salad too.
