Mock Potato Salad with Cauliflower, 6 grams protein, 68 calories

IMG_2863Cauliflower is a virtuous replacement for potatoes.  When flavored properly, this tastes like the real thing. In this recipe, the cauliflower is cooked in the microwave for convenience. You can cook it on the stove, but make sure not to overcook. You want the florets to still hold shape and not get mushy.

  • 3 hard-boiled eggs
