For a tangier flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing. Feel free to customize the salad with other additions like diced celery, crumbled bacon, or a pinch of smoked paprika. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a touch of erythritol or your favorite low-carb sweetener to the dressing. To prevent the cauliflower from becoming waterlogged, make sure to drain it well after steaming.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
7 mins
Prepare the Cauliflower: Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook; you want them to retain some texture.
02
Step
1 mins
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the steamed cauliflower, chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, diced green onion, and yellow mustard.
03
Step
1 mins
Season to Perfection: Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remember, the cauliflower will absorb some of the seasoning, so don't be shy!
04
Step
30 mins
Chill and Serve (Optional): For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This salad can also be served warm immediately after preparation.
