Cauliflower is awesome. It's great raw, sauteed, mashed up or in this case... as a wicked substitute for potato in a yummy, creamy FAUX-tato salad.

I got this recipe off CupcakesOMG! (see last post about how awesome she is)

Firstly, if you haven't made paleo mayo before, where have you been?! It's super easy and an awesome way to add fat to your diet.

Paleo Mayo
make this, and store it in an air tight container in you're refrigerator

2 egg yolks
3 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup coconut oil
(you can use 1 cup rendered fat from bacon instead of the oils if you'd like)

Use a blender or a food processor. Put the yolks and 1 tsp of lemon juice in there (you could also add 1 tsp of mustard at this point if you'd like.) Put on low and SLOWLY add the oil, one drop at a time, at first. This is creating an emulsion and if you add the oil too quickly it can separate and be beyond saving. Once the emulsion starts to thicken you can add the oil quicker. When all the oil is added, add the rest of the lemon juice. Taste the mayo and add salt and pepper to your liking.

Faux-tato Salad
this is even better the next day

1 head cauliflower
3 hard boiled eggs
3 pickles (or 3 tbsp relish)
1 tsp dried dill
1 cup paleo mayo
1 tbsp mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Chop the cauliflower into bite sized pieces, place into a pot of water (enough to cover the cauliflower) and boil until fork tender. Drain well and refrigerate for a couple of hours.

Once chilled, chop the cauliflower, pickles and your previously boiled and cooled eggs. Add everything together in a bowl, mix well and refrigerate for an hour before eating.

I added bacon.. cause really, why not?!
