Traditional potato salad is typically high in carbohydrates due to the potatoes and the dressing used, which is not suitable for a strict ketogenic diet. However, you can create a keto-friendly version of potato salad using a low-carb substitute for potatoes. One great alternative is cauliflower, which can mimic the texture of potatoes when cooked properly.
