If you love potato salad, then you will love this low carb Southern Cauliflower Potato Salad. It has all your favorite flavors as the traditional version with a little added crunch.

I was craving some potato salad when I decided to make this Southern Cauliflower Potato Salad version.

Ya’ll I can’t tell you how much this salad truly tastes like the original Southern Potato salad… It is freakin’ AWESOME!!!

And guess what?!? It is ridiculously low in carbs! Raw cauliflower has very little flavor. It just takes on the dressing you slather it in.

Therefore, when you mix it in my potato salad dressing mix, cauliflower potato salad tastes just like the real stuff.

How to make cauliflower potato salad

Follow these easy directions to make cauliflower potato salad:

• Cut cauliflower into bite size pieces.
• Add chopped onions.
• In a small mixing bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, dill pickle relish, and celery salt. 
• Add dressing mix to cauliflower and stir until all of the cauliflower pieces are equally covered.
• Chop boiled eggs. Mix in eggs to cauliflower potato salad. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Mix in chives. 
• You can serve immediately, but it is best to cover and refrigerate an hour before serving to allow the flavors to fully build. 

Low Carb Potato Salad

I am not on a low carb diet. I gave up that train years ago. But I do watch my carbs. I try to keep it all balanced. There is nothing wrong with splurging occasionally on some wicked good potato salad.

But let me tell you; this Cauliflower Potato Salad is wicked good itself. I would make it whether I am watching carbs or not.

But let me give you the skinny on this low carb potato salad.

 One cup of boiled potatoes are about 166 calories and 31 carbs while 1 cup of raw cauliflower are 25 calories and 5 carbs… That is a big difference.

Honestly, whether you are on a low carb diet, or just wanting to try something new, MAKE THIS CAULIFLOWER POTATO SALAD!

It is absolutely delicious. You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy!
