This is essentially my potato salad recipe, converted to SBD and all-phases friendly! Husband and I were reminiscing about potato salad the other day and he said, "Why couldn't we make it with cauliflower, instead?" The man is a genious!!
Maggie's Fauxtato Salad - All phases
Two large heads of cauliflower
1/2 medium to large sweet onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 2-oz. jar diced pimientos
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
4 to 6 oz. 2% sharp cheddar cheese block, chopped into small cubes
6 to 8 slices of turkey bacon, cooked and chopped or crumbled
3/4 c. Hellmann's Lite mayo
dill weed
salt and pepper to taste
Clean cauliflower and cut up into small to medium bite-sized cubes or pieces. Cover bottom of large pot with water, place cauliflower in steamer basket, bring to boil. Cook lightly until just tender; do not overcook! Needs to be firm enough to hold up as faux potato cubes. Drain; cool in refrigerator.
Cook chopped onion lightly in canola oil until just tender; drain. Combine cooled cooked cauliflower, cooked onion, diced bell pepper, drained diced pimientos, chopped hard boiled eggs, chopped cheddar, and chopped bacon in large bowl; stir together gently with wooden spoon. Add lite mayo to taste. Sprinkle liberally (or to taste) with dill weed. Season with salt and pepper. Combine thoroughly but gently. For best taste, chill for two hours or more before serving. Garnish top with more dill weed.
