Keto fauxtato salad
One of my family's favorite summer salads is our homemade potato salad. Of course when you eat the keto diet way you can't have potatoes. Sigh. That's ok though, luckily my ingenuity in the kitchen helps us create amazing alternatives that everyone will enjoy.
I mastered a keto diet approved "faux-tato" salad, a traditional version like my homemade potato salad. So, I decided to try something different. This keto fauxtato salad is SO EASY and will make a great side dish for any BBQ.
There is no stove top cooking with this recipe... which means... no heating up that already hot from summer kitchen!
Here is how to make our Keto fauxtato salad
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen cauliflower
- ½ cup salsa
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- juice of ½ lemon
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 small tomato, diced (optional, if you want to omit these carbs leave it out)
Seasonings- 1 teaspoon each
Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Cumin, Paprika, Chili Powder
a few chives, chopped
fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
Place cauliflower in a microwave safe dish, heat on high for 4 minutes or until tender. Allow to cool.
Mix together salsa, mayo, lemon juice and seasonings. 
Stir in cauliflower. Fold in cheese, avocado, chives, herbs and tomato.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with our pulled pork smothered in our homemade keto BBQ sauce, recipe link below.
