Creamy Cauliflower Salad
Shared by Kristeen
This is my new go-to "potato salad". Who decided cauliflower was a good substitute for potato? Because it really nails it! I added some stevia to the recipe to mimic the sweetness of potato salad.

Bang Bang Cauliflower

Have you heard of Bang Bang sauce? It's a shrimp sauce traditionally made with mayonnaise, sriracha, sweet chili sauce, and vinegar. This recipe varies the sauce a bit.
