Cauliflower… it makes the perfect potato substitute.
Seriously!
If you served this “potato” salad to your family or guests, they won’t know the difference. Or, if they do, they’ll love it just as much.
We’ve got another great “potato” substitute recipe: Cauliflower Mashed “Potatoes”
You simply must give both of these recipes a try. You’ll love them and so will your blood sugar levels!
And by the way, don’t be scared of eating eggs, and the yolks, too. Cholesterol in foods does not influence cholesterol in your body. This is one of the biggest myths in nutrition.
Cauliflower “Potato” Salad Recipe
Cauliflower "Potato" Salad
Ingredients

- 1 scallions (spring onions) - finely sliced

- Add a little chilli powder to spice it up
- Add a pinch of onion and garlic powder
- Use yellow mustard instead of dijon
- Use half mayonnaise, half mashed avocado
- Put a twist on it with any herbs or spices of your choice.

I’m a bit confused on the nutritional count. Is it for one serving—that is, half the recipe? Or for the whole two servings?
It’s very clever how the website allows changing the number of servings to adjust the recipe amounts, but the kcal, carbs, protein, fat, etc don’t change. So, which is what?
Thank you for the awesome website and sample recipes!
Recipe nutrition facts are for one serve. So if the recipe says 2 serves or 4 serves, the facts are still per serve.
