     This recipe as is leaves something to be desired. You don't serve potato salad raw! I made modifications by lightly steaming cauliflower (until barely soft NOT mushy!), adding diced celery, onion, chopped egg, & used cream instead of milk to lower carb count.Turned out MUCH better than above recipe! - 11/16/08

     I used to make something similar to this years ago back in the 60's when I first started with Weight Watchers. It was great, and I DID add the normal things like egg and pickles. Dividing it and ate it in several portions. - 3/24/10

     I make a cooked version of this, but figured I'd give it a try. Definately NOT something I'll make again. I want the flavor and texture of Potato salad, not cauliflower with dressing. - 11/16/08

     my sister made this a few years back and it was wonderful she added the celery and some egg same as reg potato salad in fact my nephew was upset after eating two large helpings because he found out and he "does not like cauliflower" lol funny did not mind while he was eating it. - 11/16/08

     I find the exclusion of fats a bit troubling since they are required in any diet and the use of artificial sweeteners is verboten in my house since they create an increased desire to eat. I make this however I use regular products since the quatities are small. Buttermilk will add an addtional layer - 3/24/10

     While I like mock mashed potatoes, this did not pass muster as potato salad. I wont be using it again - 3/23/08

     I used half Best Foos Canola mayo and half low fat sour cream to reduce the calories. Also added an egg, celery and green onion. Yum! This is great at lunchtime. - 3/23/08

     I am confused why people keep referring to it as a mock mashed potatoes recipe.. it says mock potato salad.. i agree that it makes more sense to cook the cauliflower a little before.. - 11/17/08

     Resembles the taste of potato salad & is very healthy. I even hard boiled egg & cut up the egg white in it. My dog enjoyed the egg yolk! - 3/23/08
  • QUEENTAMMY
     I added some shredded carrot, and a hard boiled egg and it was really tastey. I also lightly steamed the cauliflower - 11/16/08

     This is mock potatoe salad, not mashed potatoes! Maybe that is why it did not satisfy the mashed potatoe fans! - 11/16/08

     A good beginning, but where are the veggies? Pimiento or bell pepper, celery, onion, pickles, eggs - dill, anything you would put in potato salad is great in this cauliflower salad. Oh, and if you are trying to mimic potato salad, then you need to cook the cauliflower - who wants raw potato salad? - 3/23/08

     I absolutely love this. Have had it every week and even made it for Easter. My son liked it too. I also use the "sauce" and mix with a bag of premade cole slaw it is wonderful and even lower in calories (if that is possible!) - 3/23/08

     I didn't call it "mock mashed potatoes" when I served it to my family. Instead I referred to it as a new cauliflower recipe I wanted to try. So no one was comparing it to mashed potatoes and loved it! Hahaha! :-) - 3/23/08

     Very good, will make it again. A great way to lower the carb count during the summer when you want a side of potato salad. - 5/28/09
