Can I make this without an Instant Pot?
Absolutely!
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, boil water and a large pinch of salt and add your cauliflower. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until it feels soft enough for your salad. Follow the rest of the directions as written.
Making hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot:
You can cook eggs in the Instant Pot a few ways. I definitely recommend cracking your eggs first so you can save time like in my egg salad recipe. If you’d rather cook your hard boiled eggs in the shell, you can do that too!

This is so AWESOME!!! My husband loves potato salad like crazy but said he may like this recipe even more than potato salad. We tried it with and without pickles. We ended up adding 1 pickle to the recipe to make it even more potato salad like.
