Potato salad is a staple of BBQ season, so of course there needs to be a keto version. In this potato salad recipe, we switch out the potatoes for cauliflower. With this low-carb trick, you can’t even tell it’s not potatoes! Plus, they’re easy to make! You’ll be eating them poolside in just minutes.
Usually potato salad calls for sugar, so in this recipe I used Xylitol. However you can use sucralose, stevia, or any other sugar-free sweetener. Just be cautious of the sugar-to-substitute ratio. For example, 1 teaspoon of sugar is equal to 1 teaspoon of xylitol. So you will have to adjust if your substitute is different.
