    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...

    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
