Potato salad is a staple of BBQ season, so of course there needs to be a keto version. In this potato salad recipe, we switch out the potatoes for cauliflower. With this low-carb trick, you can’t even tell it’s not potatoes! Plus, they’re easy to make! You’ll be eating them poolside in just minutes. Those who prefer a raw crunch to the potato-salad style should try our loaded broccoli and cauliflower salad, which pairs crisp florets with bacon and cheddar in a creamy vinegar dressing.
Usually potato salad calls for sugar, so in this recipe I used Xylitol. However you can use sucralose, stevia, or any other sugar-free sweetener. Just be cautious of the sugar-to-substitute ratio. For example, 1 teaspoon of sugar is equal to 1 teaspoon of xylitol. So you will have to adjust if your substitute is different.

Is the cauliflower cooked or raw?
In this recipe it’s raw which adds a nice crunch. You’re welcome to steam it some to soften it.
Can the cauliflower be blanched and cooled before adding all ingredients?
I don’t see why not!
Yum Yum. I like it. I didn’t add the apple cider vinegar because I think I would like it better without it. I kept about 1/2 cup of the sauce to use with egg sandwiches. It’s a keeper for me. So much better than eating just plain cauliflower. Thanks so much!
So happy to hear you enjoyed it with the small modification!
