Southern Cauliflower Potato Salad-low carb potato salad

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 go weak in the knees over a good potato salad. When I have a cook out, I almost ALWAYS include my Bacon Ranch Potato Salad. I only make it when I have friends coming over because it is a possibility if left alone, I could eat the whole bowl myself… However, day to day, I can’t eat that many calories and carbs.

Southern Cauliflower Potato Salad

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, it tastes just like the real stuff.

One little hang up… very minor… it has a little crunch. For texture people, this might be a problem. However, my husband has major issues with food textures and it didn’t bother him at all. For me, I kind of liked the crunch. Who knew?

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!
