List of Ingredients
I've read about this for a long time, but never tried it until a couple days ago. Let me tell you! If you haven't tried it & miss/like potato salad - you've got to give it a try.
Taking advice from an Atkins site that I visit, I baked a head of fresh cauliflower. I simply cut the head into about 8 pieces (this was a large head), I included the core. I then placed the pieces in a covered casserole dish with about 1-2 tablespoons of water. (I baked it because I have a habit of not keeping a close enough eye on steaming veggies and they tend to get overdone.) You don't want to overbake/cook this - just until barely fork tender, so that it's not mushy.
I then cooled the cauliflower and chopped it as I would potatoes. Add whatever you would for your favorite potato salad. I added chopped celery, chopped sweet onion, 4 (chopped finely) hard boiled eggs, a bit of dill relish, mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, celery seed and mixed well. Then I give it a dusting of paprika for color.
The post on the other site said to make this the day before. I can honestly say even though we ate it the same day I made it - that it WAS much better the second day, so from now on I'll try to make it a day ahead.
