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.

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