This is my family’s favorite potato salad recipe. As the saying goes, I like potato salad, but it doesn’t like me! I’m trying to cut down on carbs, but I didn’t want to give this up. One fine day when I noticed cauliflower in my freezer, I thought, why not use it to replace the potatoes in this salad? It worked like a charm. It’s flavorful, low in fat, and low-carb too. Taste isn’t compromised at all. Recipe by Brynie Greisman.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 pounds (700 grams) Beleaf Frozen Cauliflower, defrosted but not too soft

  • 4 sour pickles, cubed (reserve 1/4 cup pickle juice)

  • 1 carrot, grated

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons mustard, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon Gefen Garlic Powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/4 cup Gefen Lite Mayonnaise or other low-fat mayonnaise

  • chives, chopped (optional)

  • scallions, chopped (optional)

Directions

Prepare the Salad

1.

Place cauliflower, pickles, and carrot in a large bowl.

2.

Whisk together pickle juice, mustard, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Add to vegetables and toss to coat.

3.

Add chopped chives or scallions, if desired, as a garnish or mixed in with the salad. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Tips:

Cauliflower is a very bland vegetable, so you might want to up the seasoning.

Notes:

The original recipe called for nine potatoes cooked, peeled and cubed, and 2/3 cup or more regular mayonnaise.

Pickle juice You mention to reserve 1/4 cup pickle juice- for what? I don’t see it mentioned in the recipe.
