Roasted Cauliflower Mock Potato Salad delivers all the flavor of potato salad without all of the starch and carbs.
Roasted Cauliflower “Mock Potato” Salad
by Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
This is a recipe I first made back around 2005. In that version I used to just steam the cauliflower, but over the years, I tend to like roasting the cauliflower better, as it has deeper flavor and the cauliflower is less apt to become waterlogged when roasted than when it is steamed.
If you are doing a low carb diet, this recipe can be quite a welcome sight if you have been craving potatoes. But even if you are not dieting, and maybe just want to cut back on the heaviness and starchiness of certain foods, this salad delivers all of the flavor without the less than desirable stuff.
It is a huge favorite with my family.
