    This hearty keto cauliflower potato salad is another recipe with cauliflower impersonating a potato for a low carb dish.  Pack full of flavour, it makes a pretty good substitute as a keto potato salad.

    Cooked cauliflower, hard boiled eggs and avocado are slathered in a creamy mayonnaise dressing for a delicious summer side salad.  It’s hearty enough to enjoy a bowl by itself for lunch or bring as a keto side dish for a BBQ.

    How to cook cauliflower for keto potato salad

    Just as potatoes need to be cooked for a potato salad, the cauliflower needs to be cooked for this recipe. The cauliflower can be steamed, lightly boiled or roasted. For this recipe, the cauliflower was air fried for extra flavour.

    What goes well with keto cauliflower salad?

    This keto vegetarian salad can be brought along to any BBQ or gathering as a side dish and will go with anything. Serve it with other salads for a great salad selection. As a side dish to a vegetarian main course, try it with a crustless zucchini quiche, asparagus frittata or asparagus goat's cheese tart.

    Recipe Tips

    Cut the cauliflower florets as uniform as you can to ensure even cooking.

    Store the salad in the fridge before serving for the flavours to develop.

    Best served the same day, because of the avocado. It will go brown if left overnight.  If you want to make this ahead omit the avocados until you are ready to serve.
