Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 That certainly would be better... but, can't imagine sweet pototoes and mayo. I love my potato salad with onion, mayo, mustard and potatoes. I have had potato salad on Easter Day since I was too small to remember. We *always* had the same thing! Maybe I'll just make a small amount, and have a couple of bites?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 This is what my aunt is doing--although it is illegal!!! She is making egg salad with a little potato ;-) Basically egg salad and just enough potato in it to make it near potato salad. If you eat it in moderation with the good stuff, hopefully your body can process it slowly enough where it won't affect you. I already know I'm falling off the wagon on Sunday and I'll just hop back on. Me, my husband, aunt, and Grandmother are all on South Beach, so we're all in the same boat for the holidays! We just have to have the will power to do good next week to make up for Sunday. The holidays only come around a couple times a year. I'd just enjoy yourself that day and get right back on--that's the great thing about South Beach--the ability to do that! > > > > >OK.. every Easter, we usually have ham, potato salad, green beans > > and deviled eggs (and sometimes baked beans) > > > > > >We can " south beach " the ham, deviled eggs, and maybe the baked > > beans (I usually sweeten them with brown sugar, so we'll see). > > > > > >But... how can I 'south beach' potato salad?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I really don't think that there will be a problem having just a bite or two if you don't go overboard with it and eat a big helping of it once in a blue moon. Even the SBD book said that on special occasions or if you just really really NEED this go ahead and have it just eat a bite or two of it.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Here it is. I don't know who originally posted it, but thanks! I made this for easter and EVERYONE loved it. I added 1 Tbs. dried dill to the recipe and used 2 more eggs since I had them and didn't want them to go bad. This is a GREAT recipe & it makes a lot. Enjoy! UnPotato Salad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 500 Low Carb Recipes by Dana Carpender You are going to be so surprised; this is amazingly like potato salad. 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into small chunks 2 cups diced celery 1 cup diced red onion 2 cups mayonnaise 1/4 cup cider vinegar 2 teaspoons salt or Vege-Sal 2 teaspoons Splenda 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped 1. Put the cauliflower in a microwave-safe casserole, add just a tablespoon or so of water, and cover. Cook it on High for 7 minutes, and let it sit, covered, for another 3-5 minutes. You want your cauliflower tender, but not mushy. (And you may steam it, if you prefer.) 2. Drain the cooked cauliflower, and combine it with the celery and onions. (You'll need a big bowl.) 3. Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, Splenda, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the vegetables, and mix well. Mix in the chopped eggs last, and only stir lightly, to preserve some small hunks of yolk. Chill and serve. 12 servings, each with 3 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fiber, for a total of 2 grams of usable carbs, and 3 grams of protein. (Note: Use the time while the cauliflower cooks to dice your celery and onions.) > > Reply-To: South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right > Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 18:18:23 +0000 > To: South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right > Subject: Re: Easter Meal > > I think that I saw a recipe somewhere substituting cauliflower.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I made the UnPotato salad last night for dinner. I didn't follow the recipe totally. I put the cauliflower, mayo, eggs, mustard and dill relish. It was wonderful. After cooking the cauliflower it has about the same consistency as a cooked potato. Two thumbs up! R.
