Let’s talk about the ingredients in our salad!

We combine some awesome fresh ingredients to make this marinated salad. We combine cauliflower, cucumbers, red onion, and a jalapeno pepper with tomatoes, cilantro, and both green and red peppers to make this salad. You can use either English or regular cucumbers for this salad. Whichever you use, I do recommend peeling them before adding them to your salad. I used a red onion for my salad, but you could substitute with a white or yellow onion if you’d like. I seeded and deveined my jalapeno before dicing it and adding it to my salad. Since the majority of heat comes from the seeds and membranes, if you’d like a spicier dish, you can add some to your salad. I love the combination of green and red peppers, but you can use any color or color combination of peppers for your salad.

How do I make the marinade for this marinated keto Mexican cauliflower salad?

The marinade for this salad is ridiculously simple to make, yet it really takes this salad over the top in flavor! We combine white vinegar, keto granulated sugar, water, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to make our marinade. If you’d like to change things up, you could substitute with apple cider vinegar. For my sugar, I used the Swerve brand. It contains zero calories and zero net carbs, and it’s amazingly similar in sweetness to regular sugar. For seasoning, we’re simply adding salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. For the best results, I recommend marinating this salad for at least two hours in the refrigerator before serving. I make my salad ahead of time and let it marinate overnight before serving. You can then serve your salad with as much or as little of the marinade as you’d like.
