Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Chill Time: Overnight
Servings: 6
Equipment:

  • Pot for steaming or boiling
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients:

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces and steamed or boiled until tender
  • 6 boiled eggs
  • 1/3 cup Miracle Whip or mayonnaise (avoid light versions as they may have more carbs)
  • 3 tablespoons mustard
  • 3 tablespoons pickle relish
  • 1/8 cup chopped onion (add more if desired)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Prepare the eggs: Boil the eggs until they are hard-cooked. Cool them under running water, then peel. Separate the yolks from the whites. Mash the yolks in a bowl, and chop the whites into small, bite-sized pieces. Mix the yolks and whites back together.
  2. Mix the salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the tender cauliflower pieces with the mixed eggs. Add the Miracle Whip or mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, and chopped onion. Stir everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Chill the salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste of the salad.
  4. Garnish and serve: Before serving, you can garnish the salad with additional egg slices or a sprinkle of parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

This Cauliflower Salad is not only easy to make but also a fantastic way to enjoy a low-carb dish that keeps the creamy texture and tangy flavors of a classic salad.
