10 oz. (about 2 small) white potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
2 tsp. Dijon mustard

Directions:
Place cauliflower and chopped potato in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and microwave for 6 minutes. Stir, re-cover, and microwave for 4 minutes, or until tender. Once cool enough to handle, drain excess water.
Transfer 2 cups of the cooked cauliflower only (no potato) to a blender or food processor. Add mayo, yogurt, mustard, seasonings, and 1 tbsp. water. Blend/process until smooth and uniform.
Add mixture to the large bowl, and stir to coat. Add all remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
