Ingredients and Substitutes

This section explains how to choose the best toppings for tomato and potato salad, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements, see recipe card below.

• cauliflower – The cauliflower flavor in this recipe is actually quite bland, and the texture of this low-carb potato salad is very much like a regular salad. The key is to cook the cauliflower until it is as soft as a boiled potato. To do this, make sure your florets are very small. This will cook them soft.
• mayonnaise – I use homemade mayonnaise, but you can use any mayonnaise you like. You can also use plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, but mayonnaise tastes best.
• apple cider vinegar – Apple cider vinegar adds tartness and zest to this tomato-based cauliflower potato salad. You can substitute white vinegar or lemon juice if you prefer.
• Dijon mustard – I prefer the Dijon flavor here, but regular yellow mustard is fine too.
• seasoning – To add flavor to tomato and potato salad dressing, you need garlic powdersea salt, chili (or substitute smoked paprika) and black pepper.
• onion – Although I chose yellow onions for this recipe, white, red, or sweet onions would also work. Dice.
• celery – Finely diced.other low carb vegetables like celeriac or fennel Stems are a great substitute.
• Egg – My favorite way to cook them is these easy-peel hard-boiled eggsbut you can also make Air Fryer Boiled Eggs.
• Chinese chives – Decoration optional. You can also use fresh dill.

Variations: Add dill pickles or bacon!
