Low Carb Potato Salad (Actually, It's Cauliflower)

Low carb potato salad?  Oh yes, it's possible! 

If you're looking to reduce carbs, but don't want to give up your favorite comfort foods like potato salad, this simple recipe is a perfect compromise.  You still get the same texture and flavor but at a fraction of the overall calories and carbohydrates.

I used to LOVE potato salad when I was a kid.  Sadly, potatoes don't love me back.  Or maybe they love me too much because when I eat them, they just want to cling to my thighs and never let go.  Once I discovered my intolerance to really starchy foods, I had to drop my love of all things potato (hard for an Irish girl, let me tell you) in favor of less starchy veggies.

So, cauliflower to the rescue, right?

I got the idea for cauliflower potato salad from someone on Instagram and thought it was brilliant. Seriously, what can't you make with it??  The recipe took a little tweaking to get the flavor right.

Just don't forget to add the pickle.  Pickles are life.

Oh hey, if you're looking for more ways to eat cauliflower, check out my recipes for cauliflower pizza, cauliflower risotto and cheesy casserole (<-personal favorite right here).

If you make this, let me know what you think!  I'd love to hear.
