Low Carb, Keto Potato Salad - Fauxtato Salad
This Low Carb, Keto Potato Salad combines all the flavors you'd expect to find in a typical recipe like mustard, mayo, pickles, onions and dill but uses cauliflower instead of potatoes, yielding only about 10% of the normal carbs. The fresh cilantro brightens the flavor as well, and the smoked paprika gives incredible depth to this Fauxtato Salad.

Notes
- You can buy pre-boiled eggs at the store to save time.
- I use herb scissors to make quick work of mincing the dill and cilantro.
- Go ahead and do your mixing in a large serving bowl to save on dish washing. You can clean off the sides after mixing, and you're good to go.
