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

Ingredients

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:

Use hard-boiled eggs that are fresh and have been properly refrigerated. Older eggs may have a sulfurous taste that can ruin the egg salad.
For a creamier egg salad, use mayonnaise that is made with olive oil or avocado oil. These oils have a milder flavor than vegetable oil and will not overpower the other ingredients in the egg salad.
Add some chopped celery or onion for a bit of crunch and flavor. You can also add some chopped pickles, capers, or fresh herbs, such as dill or chives.
If you are making egg salad sandwiches, use a soft, fluffy bread that will not overwhelm the delicate flavor of the egg salad. White bread, wheat bread, or croissants are all good options.
Serve the egg salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Egg salad is a classic dish that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious egg salad that everyone will enjoy.
