Mock Potato Salad

We we're having a barbeque with Honky Tonk's family the other night, and when I started to make potato salad, he groaned and said, "Please not potato salad....I love potato salad!"  So I ended up making two salads, one with potatoes and one with cauliflower.  I think they both tasted pretty good.

Ingredients:

1/2 head of cauliflower, steamed till fork tender

5-6 eggs, hard boiled (we like lots of eggs in our salad)

1/2 small onion, diced fine

1 cup Mayo

1 tsp Mustard

Vinegar

1 tsp Splenda

1/2 tsp salt

pepper to taste

Optional:  I didn’t add these, but they might be a good idea:  dill pickle diced small, or just some dill for a little flavor punch.  I had potato salad the other day that had celery added for a little crunch and it wasn’t bad either.

Cook cauli and and drain and cool.  Cook eggs and peel and dice in large chunks.   Don’t add them until last so they don’t get smooshed (not a word, I know).  Mix your mayo, mustard, vinegar (splash or two), splenda, salt and pepper in a large bowl.  Add in cooled potatoes and mix well.  Check flavor and adjust as needed with spices to add flavor or make sweeter.  Fold in eggs last so you don’t break up the pieces. 

PS…I started this post a year ago and never published it….HT is on his diet again, so maybe I’ll get a pic this time!
