Potato Salad Made with Cauliflower (3 smrtpts)
From: Gina @ snack-girl.com/
Frankly, I am bored with potato salad. Snore. Some of you have complained about my love of cauliflower because it makes you root-a-toot-toot but I will not stop creating with it – why?
Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6. It is a very good source of choline, dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, phosphorus, and biotin. Additionally, it is a good source of vitamin B2, protein, vitamin B1, niacin, and magnesium.
How many foods can you say that about? And it is low in calories versus the carb rich potato.
This potato salad with cauliflower works because you don’t cook the cauliflower into mushiness.
This is a wonderful “low carb” option the replaces the heaviness of potatoes – which you don’t want in the summer anyway –right?
Makes 6 cups
Ingredients:
1 large head cauliflower, cored and cut into bite sized pieces
2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dill relish
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
chopped green onions (optional)
smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions:
Add cauliflower to a large saucepan and add water to almost cover.
Heat until just about to boil and drain.
You want the cauliflower to retain its crunch but not be too crunchy.
Add cooked cauliflower and eggs to a large bowl.
Mix together mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, relish, and vinegar in a small bowl and pour over cauliflower.
Blend and taste for salt and pepper.
Garnish with chopped green onions and smoked paprika.
