Hard boil your eggs either in a saucepan or the instant pot. (To prepare in the instant pot, see note.)

Place the lid on the IP and seal. Set to manual for 5 minutes. Quick release.

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.
