You really need to try this cauliflower potato salad if you like potato salad. This Keto potato salad made with cauliflower puts a nice twist on the traditional potato salad. If no one told you it was cauliflower you would never know the difference. Cauliflower in place of potatoes is a nice substitute for a low carb diet and is a great recipe for anyone who needs to watch their carb intake, like diabetics or just someone trying to lose weight for your health.
I have always made the traditional potato salad that my mother taught me. But I am always trying to watch my weight and my carb intake so I decided to try the cauliflower in place of the potatoes. To my disbelief, I could hardly tell the difference between the two. This is my new recipe for a mock potato salad that I have started making these days.
You can put anything that you would put in your traditional potato salad in it. I like to put dill and sweet pickles, with onion and celery in mine for the basics ingredients. I will sometimes add bacon cheese to add some surprise to the recipe. The dressing is always the same, I never change that up. It’s what makes the cauliflower potato salad.
This is a great summer dish you can serve at a BBQ, picnic or for a summer potluck. Oh heck, it’s good any time. This cauliflower salad goes great as a side dish with hamburgers, hot dogs, BBQ chicken or steak. I will make a big bowl of it and eat it for days.
