DIET POTATO SALAD!

1st Nov 2009

Only 50 calories, 3g fat, 11g fiber and 3 carbs per 1/2 cup! And this is a photo!

And this is how you make it!

Add one tablespoon of powdered chicken bouillon to a large pot of water and turn it on high. Boil the heck out of one medium to large head of cauliflower (of course, wash it and cut off the stem and break it apart into 5-6 hunks).

At the same time boil 4 eggs, peal and chop.

Once the cauliflower is VERY tender (that’s how I like it anyway - but once you make this a few times you will make it your own) drain it and put it in a large bowl - add the eggs and then add 1/4 cup fat free mayonnaise, 2 tsp regular yellow mustard, 2 T sweet pickle relish, 2 green onions chopped finely and then season with Lawry’s seasoned salt, garlic salt and pepper to taste. (I am going to add a few pieces of crispy turkey bacon the next time I make this and some celery too. The turkey bacon will add only a few calories when split into servings.)

As you stir this the cauliflower breaks apart and you’d swear you’re working with real potatoes - and you will not believe how much like REAL potato salad this is.

One note! I made this yesterday and I just ate what you see in the photo above (which is 1 cup) and it was much tastier the second day so make this in advance and that was the secret thing that made it an exact match to real potato salad. All the ingredients had a night to flavor each other and WOW! Simply delicious.

Imagine having a cup of potato salad for lunch - I just did - and it’s full of fiber, protein and only 100 calories. I may have more!

This recipe made seven 1/2 cup servings. That will depend on the size of the head of cauliflower - but should be close everytime.

Now go enjoy the once forbidden and now welcome - FAUX POTATO SALAD!!!
