Description

A low-carb and keto-friendly twist on classic potato salad, using cauliflower instead of potatoes for a delicious summer side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup finely chopped celery
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Do not overcook.
  2. Drain the cauliflower and immediately transfer it to a large bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
  4. Add the cooled cauliflower, chopped celery, red onion, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and fresh dill to the large bowl with the dressing.
  5. Gently stir everything together until the cauliflower is evenly coated in the dressing.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for a few hours or overnight.
  8. Serve cold.

Notes

  • Ensure the cauliflower is thoroughly dried after cooling to prevent a watery salad.
  • Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and sour cream to reach your desired creaminess.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients like chopped pickles, chives, or bacon bits.
