Is Cauliflower a good keto vegetable option?

Cauliflower is a great low carb keto vegetable choice. It is a low calorie and low carb food and is also rich in nutrients. Cauliflower contains antioxidants, choline, folate, magnesium, manganese, niacin, phosphorus, and vitamins B, C, and K. It also provides a good source of fiber. And coming in at about 2 net grams of carbs per cup, cauliflower is one of your lowest carb vegetable options! Cauliflower is also a versatile vegetable. It can be eaten raw or cooked. You can boil, grill, roast, saute, or steam cauliflower. It works amazingly well in recipes in place of pasta, potatoes, or rice. And since cauliflower has a nice mild and subtle neutral taste, it takes on the flavors of the sauces, herbs and spices, and other ingredients you combine with it.

How do you make the dressing for this loaded keto cauliflower salad?

This is an incredibly easy, delicious, and low carb dressing. For our creamy base, we combine keto mayonnaise with sour cream. I like the Chosen Foods brand avocado oil mayo, but you can use any keto mayo you’d like. To this mixture, we add some Dijon mustard, keto granulated sugar, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. If you’d prefer, you can use yellow mustard for your dressing. I used the Swerve brand sugar as it is delicious and contains zero calories and zero net carbs. After making your salad, give it a taste and you can add more salt if you’d like.

Let’s talk about making this loaded keto cauliflower salad!

For this dish, I like to steam my cauliflower until it’s just fork tender. You can under cook your cauliflower if you’d like a little crunch to it, but you don’t want to over cook it. You can also roast your cauliflower for this salad. Whether steaming or roasting, you’ll want to make sure you allow time for your cauliflower to cool. To your cooled cauliflower, add your bacon, hard boiled eggs, shredded cheese, and green onion and toss to combine. One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is my Dash Rapid Egg Cooker and it’s what I use when I want to make a small batch of hard boiled eggs. I used colby jack cheese for my salad, but you can substitute with cheddar if you’d like. After making your dressing, you’ll simply pour it over the cauliflower mixture and gently stir in until combined.
