- Place the cauliflower in the Instant Pot along with 1 cup of water.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and seal.
- Set to manual for 5 minutes. Quick release.
- Drain the cauliflower using a colander and then place in a medium-sized bowl.
- Chop up the eggs and stir into the cauliflower.
- Chop the celery and onion and add in to the cauliflower-egg mixture, then the remaining ingredients and mash together using a fork or an electric mixer until you achieve the texture that you prefer.
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!
