Bacon Ranch Cauliflower Salad
From: Keri Bucci @ www.mytableofthree.com/bacon-ranch-cauliflower-salad/
This is one of my favorite low carb options for a cold side dish. It is perfect for family dinners and it is always a good choice for your next summer cookout or potluck. I don’t even miss potato salad any more since I have made this salad with cauliflower. I think the cauliflower is a fantastic veggie and deserves a lot of credit here. It is super mild and absorbs all the great flavors you mix with it like the bacon and ranch. Even my 7-year-old son, who believes he does not like cauliflower, told me he loves this dish. That says a lot coming from him. I have said this before and it is still true, he is my toughest food critic!
Here's the link to my favorite Ranch Dressing mix: gwens-nest.com/ranch-dressing-mix/
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Serving size: 1/2 cup
INGREDIENTS
2 (16 oz) bags of frozen cauliflower florets
2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped crispy bacon or real bacon bits
3 green onions, chopped
3/4 cup of Daisy Sour Cream
1/2 cup of real mayo
2 Tbsp of dry Ranch Mix ( I use the Gwen's Nest recipe that I link to above in my post)
Salt and pepper to taste after you have the salad mixed.
INSTRUCTIONS
Steam your cauliflower until it is tender but not mushy.
Set it aside to cool.
In a large bowl add the sour cream, mayo and dry ranch mix and mix until combined.
Add in rest of the ingredients including your cooled cauliflower and stir until everything is mixed.
Make sure all the cauliflower is coated well in the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
You may need to add some salt and pepper or more of your ranch mix.
The salad will absorb some of the dressing as it chills.
If it gets a little dry for your liking you can add a bit more sour cream or mayo before serving.
Chill the salad before serving.
