Servings: 6
WW Points (Freestyle): 1-2 points per serving (depending on the ingredients and serving size)

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of  cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or cooking spray for lighter version)
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat  mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (for creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles (optional for extra tang)
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped (optional, can omit for fewer points)
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Cauliflower:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
  • Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they are tender but still firm (not mushy). You want the texture to be similar to that of cooked potatoes.
  • Drain the cauliflower and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. You can also place the cauliflower in the fridge to speed up the cooling process.

2. Prepare the Dressing:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the reduced-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings to taste.

3. Assemble the Salad:
