Creamy Fauxtato Salad

I wanted to find a keto-friendly way to still have my potato salad with the Christmas ham. Came out so good, hubby went back for seconds. Essentially, you can just replace the potatoes with steamed cauliflower in your favorite potato salad recipe. I took my mom's creamy potato salad and changed the potatoes for cauliflower.
