<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nI Can't Believe its Not Potato Salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This summer side dish is one of the most requested things that I get asked to make for family gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It's a knock off of my grandmothers famous potato salad down to the hard boiled egg slices and paprika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My brother who hates cauliflower with a passion calls this dish \u201cthe bowl of lies\u201d. Mainly because at a glance you would never know that it\u2019s cauliflower instead of potato. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I\u2019m not gonna tell you that this will fool someone who doesn\u2019t like cauliflower into enjoying this dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, I will say that it blows people away when they taste those familiar flavors. Then realize it\u2019s cauliflower, not potato. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep by Step Instructions to Make Keto Cauliflower Salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Cook bacon, hard boil eggs ahead of time so ingredients are ready.<\/em><\/li>
- Diced up cauliflower into bite size pieces and boil for about 5-7 minutes in salted water until outer parts are tender but the center is still firm.<\/em><\/li>
- Rinse cauliflower in cold water until room temperature to stop the cooking process. Make sure you drain and pat cauliflower dry or your salad will be watery.<\/em><\/li>
- Next dice up pickles, celery and fresh herbs. (If using dried herbs use a tsp of 2-3 herbs you like)<\/em><\/li>
- In a large mixing bowl mix up all ingredients except cauliflower.<\/em><\/li>
- Fold in cauliflower until fully combined.<\/em><\/li>
- To garnish slice three eggs with an egg slicer and arrange the egg slices around the bowl and dust the top with paprika and parsley.<\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
The Secret To perfectly Cooked Cauliflower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The secret to this dish is cooking the cauliflower just enough that it\u2019s soft and tender. Still firm enough to not turn into mashed cauliflower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s a different dish (click here for my ricotta cauliflower mash recipe)<\/a>. As soon as the cauliflower is cooked tender but still firm it\u2019s important to shock the cauliflower in cold water. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis will stop the cooking process. Other than cooking the cauliflower correctly this dish is a breeze. Simply toss the other ingredients in a mixing bowl and combine, then fold in the cauliflower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don't Feel Like Cooking the cauliflower at all? Check out this Purple Cauliflower Antipasti<\/a> Recipe<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis dish is the perfect potluck side because it\u2019s best served the second day. You can prep the dish and chill it <\/b>overnight<\/i><\/span><\/span> <\/strong><\/em>to give the dressing time to absorb. Even your non keto friends and family will love this dish. You\u2019ll definitely get invited to more cookouts this summer!<\/b><\/span>
