Cauliflower Potato Salad

This Cauliflower Potato Salad is a classic potato salad with a twist: instead of potatoes, you use chopped, steamed cauliflower. It sounds crazy, but it works! By the time you get it loaded up with that mayo-mustard dressing, pickles, onion, celery, eggs, and bacon, you can’t even tell the difference.
