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.
Here’s a recipe for Keto Cauliflower Potato Salad:
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 2-3 stalks of celery, finely chopped

- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
