This large salad can be dressed a bit in advance, which makes it perfect for entertaining. And leftovers make a great lunch the next day!
Cauliflower is the name of the game these days, it’s healthy, nutritious and there are so many ways to use it!
Big Tip: Finely chop the cauliflower
If you’re anything like me and have a hard time eating raw cauliflower salad, this recipe may be your solution.
Raw cauliflower can be unpleasant and bland because it is hard to infuse with flavor, which is why most cauliflower salads employ heavy dressings. But you don’t have to!
The trick to a flavor-packed and healthy cauliflower salad is in turning the large florets into a rice-like mixture (so easy! Just put the florets in the food processor and pulse a few times).
The finer rice-like texture allows cauliflower to absorb flavor well and quickly without turning to heavy ingredients.
Option: If you prefer, rather than finely chopping the cauliflower in the food processor, you can use a good knife and simply chop into very small florets.
Reviews for: Cauliflower Salad
– Fabulous! My guy is currently on a low carb diet so I thought I would try this and wasn’t expecting much. We both loved it and I will continue to make this even after his diet is over. I didn’t use the pickles or eggs but that was just a preference. I would use it in the future. I also did half Duke’s Mayo (no sugar) and half sour cream. Thanks submitter – a definite keeper.
– Great tasting “fake potato” salad! We eliminated the s+p, thinking that is personal preference, and omitted the onions because we had none. Cauliflower is one of our favorite vegetables, so this definitely came out as a winner! Thanks for the recipe!
– This was really great. I didn’t add the peas because I wanted it to be low carb. I have to admit that I was scared to try it, but it tastes like potato salad.
– This dish is delicious! My husband and I are on a low carb diet and this tastes just like the real thing. It’s one of the best “mock” salads I’ve tried- and I didn’t even add the bacon. Thanks for the recipe!
– I love potato salad and any kind of salad in general. I passed on the bacon which cut back on the sodium and fat but I bet it would be good. (I didn’t have any on hand)
– I was looking to use my cauliflower before I went on vacation and I had all the ingredients on hand. It was very good. Not something that I must include in my rotation but I will use this again when I need to use a head of cauliflower. Definitely add bacon if you have it on hand.
– This was pretty good. I subbed red pepper for the peas because I don’t like peas and did omit the bacon to save calories but it was a nice change and fit well into my low carb diet plan. Thanks!
