Living a new lifestyle, I'm trying to come up with recipes that will allow me to still enjoy the foods I love without all the calories, carbs and fat. I LOVE potato salad but can't have the carbs so I replaced them with cauliflower and you can't even tell a difference. It's got the same great flavor minus the fat, carbs and calories. It was even better the third and fourth day. Recipe and photo are my own.

    Place cauliflower in steamer basket and steam for 8-10 minutes with the lid on until it is cooked crisp tender. You don't want it to be crunchy, but you don't want it mushy either. It should hold it's shape well. Check it at about 8 minutes. If using only 1 head of cauliflower, check at 5 minutes.

  • 4
    Once cauliflower has cooled, place in a large bowl along with eggs, peppers, onions, celery, and sweet gherkins.
  • 5
