  This is a great idea. It needed a little more flavor for my taste, so I added onion and increased the mustard and pickle relish. - 7/29/08

  I loved this recipe. I was really hesitant, having seen it for years and too afraid to try it, but I did and I really like it. - 7/26/08

  I make this a lot.....Be sure to cook the cauliflower good and drain well...don't want watery salad....I then just use what I normally would for potato salad....
  We think it is great.......and I love Faux Potatoes... - 7/26/08

  This is wonderful. Tastes just like potato salad but not as heavy since there are no potatos. It is on my list of summer staples - a great side dish for grilling out. Also, it makes enough to last the week. - 6/16/07

  i didn't add the egg which means it's less calorie. this is really good. it tastes just about like normal potato salad except the texture is just a little different. i'm glad someone found a healthier version on potato salad i can enjoy picnics again!! - 5/30/07

  Interesting enough to try, with my own additions, as suggested. One note: 16 tablespoons mayo = 1 cup. - 8/30/10

  too bland as is, but add 1 tbsp of light sour cream and still only have only 3 WW points per serving. - 7/26/08

  I made this yesterday. I love cauliflower & potato salad, this was great. I didn't have enough mayo but it was still so good. I ate nothing else for lunch except this. I gave the recipe to my Mom she's diabetic, can't eat a lot of potatoes. She made it the same night & loved it too. Thanks. - 3/28/07

  Interesting enough to give it a try. I believe I will also add some sliced green onions to it. I doubt I will call it "potato" salad. The "mashed potato" cauliflower dish did not fool my husband. - 7/14/09

  I brought this dish to a cook-out and no one liked it. I thought it was just ok, definitely a good healthy concept, but it's just not the same as potato salad! I also didn't cook the cauliflower long enough. - 5/9/07

  This is pretty good! Not everyone's potato salad tastes the same, though, so I had to add some cider vinegar to this for it to work for me. Still, it was not a big winner with my family so I don't think I'll make it again. Cauliflower "mashed potatoes" is also terrific. - 7/9/08

  Another idea is to make sweet potato salad using whatever basic potato salad recipe you like--or this one with that substitution. Of course it will have more calories but also full of highly desirable nutrients. - 10/21/10

  This recipe is DELICIOUS. Sure tastes a lot like Potato salad and it is much healthier. Great filling for a cold Breakfast Burrito or just something to much on when you get the hungries through the course of the day. i know I am going to make it a lot. - 9/2/10

  Consider pulsing the raw cauliflower in food processor until it has the consistency of . . . hmmm. I'm not sure what to give you as an example. Basically pulse it until it is really small and then use it uncooked in the potato salad. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!!! - 8/30/10

  Fat free mayo is disgusting, I subbed low fat mayo, reduced the amount by half, and used fat free greek (fage)
  yogurt. Pretty good for cauliflower, but it's not potato salad. - 8/30/10

  Quite good! I used what I had on hand which was sweet gherkins in place of the dill pickles. Added a little green onion and turmeric. Used less mayo and mustard. Added a bit of salt and pepper for extra seasoning. - 1/22/11

  I have been making this for quite awhile. My family really likes it too. I made it for a baby shower and some people did not realize it was cauliflower!!! I do use my own recipe though!!! I have also made the mashed "potatoes", but found them a little sweet foe me, but otherwise good. - 10/26/10

  The recipe states it makes 8 servings. So one eighth of recipe equals one serving. Personally I prefer to roast my cauliflower. My potato salad recipe is perfect just the way it is. Taters are good for me. - 10/21/10

  What I would like to know is how big is a serving? I find a lot of these recipes do not give you the amount of the serving. Would be nice if someone figured this out. I find Kraft very good at doing this with their recipes. - 10/21/10

  I don't know if there is any benefit to using cauliflower as opposed to potatoes- cooked cauliflower also turns into sugars as do potatoes - 10/21/10

  For me, sugars don't matter...calorie count and flavor do.

  Cold potato is a resistant starch...enters the blood stream slooowly. It is not a bad food. Read up on it. - 9/6/10

  Thanx! I've been in the mood for potato salad & this sounds great. I can't see where it says how much is in each serving though. Being just 2 of us, I probably will cut the recipe in half. - 7/26/08
