Keto “Potato” Salad is a wonderful side dish for grilling out with the family! Pair it with your favorite grilled meats like grilled chicken, hotdogs and hamburgers.

While potatoes aren’t necessarily low carb, you don’t have to go through summer without potato salad!

This Keto potato salad recipe uses cauliflower instead of potatoes, and it is just as delicious. Much like potatoes, cauliflower does a great job of absorbing the flavors of the dressing.

Develop the flavor

When you first add the cauliflower to the sauce, it may not have a very strong flavor.

To develop the flavors, it’s important to refrigerate the Keto Potato Salad for at least 2 hours before serving.

This is one of those recipes that tends to get better the longer it sets.

It’s easy to fool just about anyone into thinking this mock potato salad is the real deal!
