I have an insanely delicious recipe for cauliflower done in the microwave with different soups and cheddar as a vegetables if you want it.  I'll have to look it up.  It was when microwaves were just beginning to be used, and this was one example from the Junior League, Rochester, NY.

So did you post it yet?  I'd love to see it, try it.

I used to waste a lot of lettuce until I started putting it into a Lock 'n Lock container with paper towel in bottom.  It keeps a long time now as another poster mentioned.

On another note about Cauliflower, here is a different recipe using it.

Cauliflower Slaw

1 head of Cauliflower

1/2 cup French Dressing

1/2 cup celery leaves, chopped

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1/2 cup green pepper, chopped

In a bowl, break and slice cauliflower into small pieces; add celery leaves, green onions and green pepper.  Mix together French Dressing and sour cream and toss lightly with cauliflower mixture.  Refrigerate until serving.

@QVCkitty1 ............stretch out lettuce?  What does that mean and how do you do it?

Really?  I simply meant that if you  fill the salad with other veg. you use less lettuce and therefore stretch it out.

Iceberg lettuce may not have nutritional value on it's own, but when a person adds a lot of fresh veggies, I think it overcomes that, plus I love the crunchiness of iceberg. I love cauliflower in salads along with any veggie I have in the fridge - yellow squash, zucchini, shredded carrots, peppers, radishes, cucumbers, olives, plus diced salami and cheese, etc. I sometimes also boil a handful of small pasta such as mini pene to make it a meal, especially in the summer with fresh veggies.

Edited: forgot to mention that I core the iceberg lettuce, rinse it (but don't dry it), wrap in a paper towel or two, and then store in a gallon plastic bag. It stays fresh and crunchy for over a week.

I still use a vintage Rubbermaid container for my iceberg lettuce. It has a separate piece in the bottom that has a kind of spear that fits the lettuce perfectly after it is cored.The top is domed. I use it more now than when it was new.

@arrabella  I used to have one of the lettuce keeping you are describing. For some reason I got rid of it. Should have kept it.
