Salad Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite sized pieces
- 8 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup roughly chopped fresh spinach
Dressing Ingredients
- ½ cup keto mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the bite-sized cauliflower pieces, crumbled fried bacon, diced tomatoes, and roughly chopped spinach. Toss everything gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate small mixing bowl, add the keto mayonnaise, sour cream, rice vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the prepared creamy dressing over the cauliflower mixture. Toss carefully to ensure the dressing coats all the salad ingredients evenly.
- Chill Before Serving: Cover the salad and refrigerate it until ready to serve. This chilling allows the flavors to meld and the salad to become crisp and refreshing.
Notes
- For an extra kick, you can add chopped green onions or fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
- Make sure the bacon is well-drained of excess fat before adding to keep the salad from becoming greasy.
- This salad works well as a side dish or a light stand-alone meal for lunch.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt, depending on the saltiness of the bacon used.
- The salad is best served chilled but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
