Healthy Low-Carb Parmesan Cauliflower Salad slightly steamed for a softer and more digestible texture, mixed with flavor boosting parmesan cheese and topped with fresh tomatoes and blueberries.
If you are into those amazing food videos that pop-up on your screen every time you log on to your social media, I take that you’ve noticed quite a buzz around cauliflower recipes lately. Recently I commented on one-of-those jaw dropping video that I could literally live off of cauliflower! I mean, this stuff can be made into pizza, breads, tator tots, burgers, dip… you name it!
Realistically tho, how many of these recipes will the average person with .5 seconds to spare be making? Hm… not many.
The idea behind it is 110% thumbs up and if you have the time -go do it! I even got a ’tots awesome Breakfast Cauliflower Tots recipe that you can grab.
But for the rest of the world (I see lots of hands going up) 🙂 there is a much simpler, easier and still flipping delicious way that you can cook with cauliflower, and I bet you will love it just as much!
Truth is cauliflower is a great low-carb option for those who are cutting down on carbs and sugar, cuz white carbs (a.k.a simple carbs) = sugar! while providing the body with plenty of nutrition. For instance a medium sized cauliflower head contains only 29g carbs!! Now that’s something to celebrate ?
Speaking of celebration, this RED-WHITE-BLUE Cauliflower Salad is the perfect addition to your Memorial Day Weekend and Fourth of July celebrations!!
This Healthy Low-Carb Parmesan Cauliflower Salad is slightly steamed for a softer and more digestible texture, mixed with flavor boosting parmesan cheese and topped with fresh tomatoes and blueberries. I used a simple dressing, to complement the salad and bring up the flavors.
This cauliflower salad recipe is all around a good, fulfilling, delicious recipe for your everyday healthy eating. If you had a change to read my Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad you heard me say that I am not a big fan of salads, so if I can eat a bowl of salad without looking at the bowl 10x to see if it’s gone… then I know the stuff is for real!
Besides, the celebrations are just around the corner, and this RED-WHITE-BLUE salad will look gorgeous on your table!
