Keto Kartoffelsalat (German Potato Salad) with Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 6 strips Bacon
• 1/4 medium Red Onion
• 3 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1 medium head cauliflower into small florets, about 1-inch pieces. Place the florets in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, or in a pot with enough water to cover. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but still has a slight bite (tender-crisp). Drain the cauliflower very well and set aside in a large bowl.
2. 2While the cauliflower cooks, dice the 6 strips of bacon into 1/2-inch pieces. Place the diced bacon in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat (325°F / 163°C). Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy bacon bits from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave 2 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.
3. 3Finely dice the 1/4 medium red onion. Add the diced red onion to the skillet with the 2 tablespoons of bacon fat. Cook over medium heat (325°F / 163°C) for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until the onion pieces are softened and slightly translucent.
4. 4Add the 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the skillet with the softened onions. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat.
5. 5To the large bowl with the cooked cauliflower florets, add the reserved crispy bacon bits and 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley. Stir gently to combine these ingredients.
6. 6Pour the warm bacon and onion mixture from the skillet over the cauliflower, bacon, and parsley in the large bowl. Toss everything together gently until the cauliflower mixture is evenly coated with the vinaigrette.
7. 7Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss one final time to distribute the seasonings. Serve the Keto Kartoffelsalat warm or allow it to cool to room temperature before serving.
