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.

  • Step 4
    Once cauliflower has cooled, place in a large bowl along with eggs, peppers, onions, celery, and sweet gherkins.
  • Step 5
    Combine all the ingredients of dressing and stir to combine. Pour over veggies and stir gently to coat well. Cover and place in refrigerator for several hours or over night before serving.
