Cauliflower 1-1/2#
Mayonnaise (1)
Sour Cream
Mustard (2)
Lemon Juice
Salt
White Pepper
Horseradish (3)
Parsley
  1. Trim stem & leaves from CAULIFLOWER.
  2. Bring a steamer up to a full boil, put Cauliflower in, cover and steam over high heat for 10 to 12 minutes depending on size. Do Not Overcook - cauliflower must hold together well. Immediately chill completely with cold running water. Drain thoroughly, place in an appropriate dish and refrigerate until serving time.
  3. Mix ALL * ITEMS together thoroughly.
  4. Chop PARSLEY medium.
  5. When ready to serve, make sure Cauliflower is secure in its dish and carefully slice with a thin sharp knife into serving size wedges without disturbing its shape.
  6. When ready to serve, spoon Sauce over the Cauliflower and spread to cover. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve. Don't spread the sauce until ready to go because it will darken with exposure to air.
NOTES:
  1. Mayonnaise: Homemade, or lacking that Trader Joe's or Best Foods / Hellmann's.
  2. Mustard: NOT that flourescent yellow stuff please! Russian style, or lacking that Gulden's Spicy or Dijon.
  3. Horseradish: NOT with cream - that's British, not Russian. Morehouse Prepared Horseradish is good, or an import from Eastern Europe.
  4. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch
