This salad is a nice replacement for those not eating complex carbohydrates, like potatoes.
Yes, it’s fake potato salad. Cauliflower is the stand-in for potato here and it does a respectable job of it. The key is to play up the other ingredients and flavor to your liking.
It goes great as a side, or you can turn it into a full blown salad by adding grilled protein, more veggies, or serve with several other good side dishes.

I wonder if rutabaga would work. I love it as a potato substitute.
Yes, Tamatha, I think it will work!
Yum!!! I don’t think yucca is legal. I wish! I love yucca fries. http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/listing/P/
Correct, yucca will not work for SCD.
You could also use yucca (find it in the frozen food section). Almost like potatoes!
Yes! Parsnip might work well also.
This potato salad sounds yummy. I use dill relish rather than the other, though. Thanks!
great idea. I add relish to egg salad, so why not here?
