Time 15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large head cauliflower, roughly chopped
6 egg whites, hard-boiled chilled and chopped
1/2 ounce ranch dressing mix (1/2 the dry mix package)
1 1/2 cups fat-free mayonnaise
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream
3 tablespoons Dijonnaise mustard (Hellman's or Best Foods)
2 tablespoons fat-free liquid creamer (liquid kind, like the one by Coffee-mate)
1 cup red onion, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
1/4 cup chives, chopped
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons dill, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
paprika (optional)

Steps:

  • Place cauliflower in a large microwave-safe bowl, and pour 1/3 cup water over it. Cover and microwave for 6 - 8 minutes (until cauliflower is soft).
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the ranch mix, mayo, sour cream, Dijonnaise and salt. Set aside.
  • Once cool enough to handle, drain any excess water from the cooked cauliflower. Lightly mash just 2 cups of the cauliflower, and then place in a blender. Add creamer and puree or pulse until blended. (Don't worry if it isn't completely smooth.)
  • Pour mayo mixture into the blender and mix until blended and creamy.
  • Chop the rest of the cauliflower into small half-inch pieces. Place these cauliflower pieces in a large bowl, and add the onion, celery and vinegar. Toss and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Pour the blender mixture over the vegetables and mix well. Add the chopped egg whites, chives, dill and parsley, and fold them inches
  • Chill for several hours. If you like, sprinkle with paprika just before serving.
  • P.S. This stuff tastes EVEN BETTER the day after it's prepared! MAKES 10 SERVINGS.

Tips for Making the Best Potato Salad:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. You can use russet potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, red potatoes, or a combination of all three.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they should not be falling apart.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before adding them to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good choice. You can also add other ingredients to your dressing, such as herbs, spices, or chopped vegetables.
  • Add mix-ins to your salad. This is a great way to add extra flavor and texture. Some popular mix-ins include hard-boiled eggs, chopped celery, onions, pickles, and bacon.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help to bring out the flavors and make the salad more refreshing.
