Keto Cauliflower Salad with Parmesan Dressing

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the Salad:

• 1 medium head cauliflower (about 4 cups florets)

• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

• 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

• 1/2 cup cucumber, diced

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

• 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional, for crunch)

For the Parmesan Dressing:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (avocado oil-based for keto)

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 tbsp heavy cream

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 1/4 tsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (optional, to balance acidity)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cauliflower:

   • Remove the core and leaves from the cauliflower. Break into small, bite-sized florets.

   • Optionally, blanch the florets: Boil for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry. (For raw texture, skip blanching.)

2. Make the Parmesan Dressing:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Parmesan, heavy cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and sweetener (if using) until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. If too thick, add 1-2 tsp water or more cream.

3. Assemble the Salad:

   • In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets, crumbled bacon, red onion, cucumber, parsley, and almonds (if using).

   • Pour the Parmesan dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.

4. Serve:

   • Chill for 10-15 minutes in the fridge for flavors to meld, or serve immediately.

   • Garnish with extra Parmesan or parsley, if desired.

Glycation

Glycation (non-enzymatic glycosylation) is the covalent attachment of a sugar to a protein, lipid or nucleic acid molecule.[1] Typical sugars that participate in glycation are glucose, fructose, and their derivatives. Glycation is the non-enzymatic process responsible for many (e.g. micro and macrovascular) complications in diabetes mellitus and is implicated in some diseases and in aging.[2][3][4] Glycation end products are believed to play a causative role in the vascular complications of diabetes mellitus.[5]
