Roasted Cauliflower No-Potato “Potato” Salad
Roasted cauliflower replaces the traditional potato in this dish to make a tasty, low-carb, low-starch recipe. Cauliflower is high in fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients, making for an excellent substitute. The roasted cauliflower is soft and tender, but the pickles and celery give this dish a nice crunch.
By replacing regular mayo with a homemade dressing of olive oil and avocado mayo, this dish contains higher “good” monounsaturated fats. Healthy fats are a staple in Mediterranean countries and have been shown to reduce rates of heart disease, support blood sugar regulation, and help with healthy weight management.
