LOW CARB "POTATO" SALAD

I liked this very well. It reminds me more of deli-style potato salad than Helen's "Potato" Salad, which is also very good. This one has a Miracle Whip, sweet kind of flavor and Helen's is more of a mustard potato salad. I like them both and it will be difficult to decide which to make. I made mine without the onion. You could add hard boiled eggs, but be sure to add them to the carb count. INGREDIENTS : 16 ounce package frozen cauliflower  1/2 cup mayonnaise  4 ounce jar diced pimientos, drained well  1/4 cup dill pickle relish, drained well  1 tablespoon chopped onion, optional  1 tablespoon white vinegar  1 tablespoon Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda  1 tablespoon yellow mustard  1/2 teaspoon pepper  Salt, to taste PREPARATION : Cook the cauliflower until tender, but not mushy, about 8 minutes. Drain very well, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Mix all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Chill several hours before serving. Makes 6-8
