OLD FASHIONED EGG MOCK POTATO SALAD RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Old Fashioned Egg Mock Potato Salad Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by luv2ropenride

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large head cauliflower, cleaned
6 large hard boiled eggs, chopped
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 ⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder
Paprika, for garnish
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Chop the cauliflower into small pieces (should make about 4 cups). Set a large pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook the cauliflower pieces in the boiling water for about 5 minutes, until tender. Drain cauliflower and immerse in an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain cauliflower well and then pat dry between several layers of paper towels. Place the cauliflower in a bowl with all of the remaining ingredients, except the garnishes, and fold together. Sprinkle with the paprika and parsley, and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Tip: Be sure to fold all of the ingredients together until the salad is a nice yellow color.

Tips:

- Using cold hard-boiled eggs will make the egg salad easier to chop and less likely to crumble. - For a smoother egg salad, mash the eggs with a fork instead of chopping them. - Add diced celery, onion, pickles, or fresh herbs to the egg salad for extra flavor and texture. - If you find the egg salad is too dry, add a bit of mayonnaise or sour cream to moisten it. - Serve the egg salad on bread, crackers, or lettuce leaves, or use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
