Print Recipe

A low-carb, creamy cauliflower salad that mimics traditional potato salad with crispy bacon and hard-boiled eggs, perfect for keto and low-carb diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 5-7 minutes until just tender but not mushy. Drain well in a colander and let cool completely.
  2. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover. Let sit for 12 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to ice water to cool. Peel and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon slices until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently fold the cooled cauliflower, chopped eggs, crumbled bacon, celery, red onion, and dill into the dressing. Stir carefully to coat everything evenly without breaking up the cauliflower too much.
  6. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Taste again before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Do not overcook the cauliflower to avoid mushiness. Dry cauliflower thoroughly to prevent watery salad. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Cook bacon until crispy for crunch. Adjust apple cider vinegar to taste. Salad improves after chilling for a few hours or overnight. If salad is dry after chilling, add extra mayonnaise or olive oil.
