Japanese style Potato Salad is made with mashed Potato. This is a healthy version of the same salad made with mashed Cauliflower. It looks like Potato Salad but the texture and the flavour are of course very different, as Mashed Potato and Mashed Cauliflower are totally different. It is a healthier alternative for those who need to reduce the calorie intake.
