Now I tried taking cauliflower and mashing it up to sub for
mashed potatoes some time back and must admit I was not too fond of it. But I
decided to go with that idea and flavor it up to see if I could make an
acceptable dish. I realize that some of you will be skeptical, but my hubby and
I were quite happy with the result!
Here is my version of “Whatever Works instead of Potato
Salad”:
16 oz. package frozen cauliflower
3 eggs, boiled, peeled, and diced (sprinkle with black
pepper)
2 Tablespoons Mayo
4 Tablespoons Mustard
4 Tablespoons Pickle Relish
2 Tablespoons finely diced red onion
Dash Paprika
Bring enough water to cover cauliflower to a boil. Add
frozen cauliflower. After it resumes boiling, cook for 6 minutes. Remove about one
third of cauliflower and cube it, as you would cube potatoes in a regular
potato salad. Place rest of cauliflower in blender, add mustard and pulse it
till it is creamy like mashed potatoes. Put this mixture into a bowl and add
all other ingredients. Refrigerate. Enjoy!
I did not add salt to anything! I was careful to not be too
generous with the mayo, but did use a little for creaminess. We always like
mustard in potato salad, so that helped add flavor. The only change I might try
is to add a little celery for extra crunch.
This made enough for 4 generous servings. I made a rough calculation, using information of each ingredient, and estimate each of those 4 servings to have about 116 calories and 9 g Carbs. Now that is better than potato salad!
