No Potato Salad

This healthier gluten free potato salad is perfect for picnics and barbecues. Replacing potato with cauliflower is a Low Carb Diet trick I learned a decade and a half ago.

No Potato Salad

Have you made potato salad using cauliflower instead of potatoes?

Swapping in cauliflower, a fiber rich food, results in a far more nutrient dense gluten free potato salad that’s also low carb.

The low carb diet has worked well for me because it burns fat, stabilizes blood glucose levels, and incorporates so many nutrient rich foods.

Low Carb Recipes

Along those lines, the health benefits of a low carb diet are plentiful.

What Is Low Carb Food?

What is low carb food? I focus on consuming protein, along with low glycemic vegetables, and fat while eliminating high carb processed foods.

Cauliflower Potato Salad

In my cauliflower potato salad, I trade high carb potatoes for fiber rich, nutrient dense cauliflower.

These types of win-win swaps and nutritionally dense unlocks are key to my cooking!

Cauliflower Recipes

When it comes to low carb vegetarian recipes, my No Potato Salad checks all the boxes –easy, healthy, and delicious.

Ready to eat in just twenty minutes, and a busy mom’s dream, my favorite cruciferous vegetable, cauliflower, is the star of the show here.

Cauliflower Carbs

	Calories	Carbs	Fiber	Net Carbs	Protein	Fat
Cauliflower (1 cup)	27	5g	3g	2g	2g	0g

Cauliflower is a fantastic superfood that I eat regularly in a variety of ways.

High Fiber Food

Naturally high in fiber and vitamins B and C, it also contains phytonutrients and glucosinolates that help protect against cancer.

Cauliflower Rice Recipes

This versatile vegetable is also an optimal swap for high carb rice. Here are some of my cauliflower rice recipes:

• Basic Cauliflower Rice
• Cauliflower Mexican Rice
• Mexican Chicken and Rice

Celiac Disease Self Care

Wondering how it all started? Living the life of a gluten free pioneer hasn’t always been easy.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1998, and at that point, gluten free recipes were incredibly hard to find.

I knew I’d need to create my own.

Gluten Free Recipes

Another issue? So many gluten free recipes use unhealthy ingredients.

For example, the majority of gluten free breads and baked goods are made with high carb ingredients such as rice flour, potato starch, and corn meal.

Since I’m conscious of the advantages of gluten free and low carb diets, I use flours and ingredients that are full of healthy fat, fiber, and protein.

Is Potato Salad Gluten Free?

You don’t have to ask is potato salad gluten free with my No Potato Salad because, yes, it’s gluten free and it’s low carb, too!

Fresh Friseé Salad

The best salads are those thrown together with whatever fresh leafy vegetables I have on hand from the garden or farmers’ market, but this one is so good we make it again and again.

This colorful and nutrient rich salad with radicchio, friseé, butter lettuce, and arugula is also next level delicious because of my homemade salad dressing recipe.

Fruit Salad Recipe

For a low carb pop, swap out the honey for Swerve.

Take note though, Swerve is a low carb keto sweetener that’s not on the menu for me. To find out why read What’s the Best Sweetener for the Keto Diet.
