I Can't Believe It's Not Potato Salad image

I recently stumbled upon a terrific website called hungrygirl.com. It features recepies that are both delicious and low calorie. A member challanged hungry girl to make a low fat potato salad and this recipe is what she came up with. Using caualiflower instead of potatoes!! Who'd-a-thunk it!! P.S. the original recipe submitted...
