Valerie Bertinelli, award-winning actress, cookbook author and host of Valerie’s Home Cooking, appeared on TODAY to chat with Hoda Kotb and share some of her delicious summer recipes, including her tasty cauliflower potato salad recipe. To be honest, when I first heard of people using cauliflower as a substitute for potatoes, I was skeptical. I love potatoes.

However, some recipes and substitutions just work. This is one of them! It’s a lighter take on the more classic potato salad. It’s easy to make, tasty, satisfying and the perfect side dish to bring to your next potluck. Thanks, Valerie!
