Bring a grill sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add veggies, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill for 5 minutes with the grill cover down.

HG Alternative! Cook your veggies on a grill pan, and adjust cook times as needed. If the pan doesn't have a lid, just loosely cover it with a skillet lid.

Classic flavors pair up for a potato salad. And the nutritionals are anything but ordinary, thanks to the clever use of our pal cauliflower!

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, cored and chopped
10 oz. baby red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt (like the kind by Fage or Chobani)
3 tbsp. Hellmann's/Best Foods Dijonnaise (or another mild creamy mustard)
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. salt
8 slices center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
6 large hard-boiled egg whites, chilled and chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped scallions

Directions:
Place chopped cauliflower and cubed potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/3 cup water, cover, and microwave for 6 minutes. Stir, re-cover, and microwave for 8 minutes, or until tender. Once cool enough to handle, drain excess water.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine mayo, yogurt, Dijonnaise, dill, onion powder, and salt. Mix until uniform.

Cook bacon until crispy, either in a large skillet over medium heat or on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave. (See package for cook time.)

Chop or crumble bacon, and add to the large bowl. Add egg whites, celery, scallions, and mayo mixture. Toss to coat, and serve!
