Low Carb Roasted Cauliflower Salad Recipe – Easy Keto Winter Salad – Great Ketogenic Diet friendly meal for lunch or dinner.
Low Carb Roasted Cauliflower Salad Recipe
This easy Roasted Cauliflower Salad has just a few ingredients, but each one packs a flavour punch. You can mix and match the ingredients to suit your macros and ingredients you have available near you.
As you’ll see, salads are not just for Summer – this is great as a warming meal on a chilly winter’s day. (Or, you could also enjoy the salad chilled from the fridge too.)
To construct the salad, you start by roasting the cauliflower in salt and olive oil. While the cauliflower is roasting, you slowly caramelise sliced red onion.
Include as much or as little onion as you like, bearing in mind that a whole red onion has about 11.5 Net Carbs. So, if you’d prefer to only include a quarter or a half an onion then that’s up to you.
To finish off the salad, you can drizzle over your favourite low carb, high fat salad dressing or your dressing of choice. A simple lemon vinaigrette (like this one) would work well and then, finally, crumble over some feta or goats cheese for the perfect Low Carb Roasted Cauliflower Salad.
You could also add a few handfuls of nuts to this salad. Walnuts, almonds or pine nuts would work well. You can toss them over straight from the back, or roughly chop them or even briefly fry them in a pan for a toasted flavour.
