Potato Salad (with Secret Cauliflower and White Beans!) - Vegan

It's official, I have a love affair going with white beans.  

Since I began using them earlier this year I've snuck them into everything - including dessert!

They are so mild they blend into anything, adding extra fiber and protein without even noticing (or tasting!) that you are doing anything "healthy"!

You will never ever guess there is cauliflower and white beans in this 
healthy potato salad - Promise!

Ingredients:

4-5 Russet Potatoes, Peeled and Cubed

1 c. Cauliflower, Chopped

1 can White Northern Beans, Drained
1/2 c. Vegenaise (vegan mayo) - Available at Whole Foods & Earth Fare
