Potato Salad

Lighten the calorie and carb load with this creamy, dreamy cauliflower “potato salad!” It tastes just like the real deal but skips the spuds.

Perfect for warm weather BBQs, this potato salad is so full of flavor, your guests won’t even realize it’s totally guilt-free. Plus, it’s super easy to make!

Get started by steaming cauliflower florets until they are fork tender, then run them under cold water to stop the cooking. Be careful not to overcook the cauliflower or else your salad will be mushy! Place the cauliflower into a mixing bowl with diced celery, hard boiled eggs and green onions.

Create a potato salad dressing by whisking together Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, whole grain mustard, dill relish, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over salad and gently fold it all together to coat the veggies thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least one hour.

This potato salad makes four servings. If you’re serving it up a barbecue or picnic, feel free to double or triple the recipe to serve more. One serving contains around 108 calories and counts as one PowerFuel and two Vegetable on the Nutrisystem weight loss plan.
