Make and share this Atkins Cucumber-Avocado Salad With Cumin Dressing recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Orions Wife

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
salt
pepper
6 cups mixed salad greens, washed
1 small avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tomatoes, cored, seeded and chopped
1 small cucumber, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons red onions, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a small dry skillet over low heat, toast ground cumin 2 minutes or until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Add lemon juice and whisk well. Add oil in a thin, steady stream, whisking until blended. Add salt and pepper to taste. In a large salad bowl, combne greens with 1/4 cup dressing; toss to coat. Place on serving plates. Mix avocado, tomato, cucumber, and onion with dressing; toss to coat. Top each portion of greens with avocado mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose a firm head of cauliflower: A firm head of cauliflower will yield the best results for your potato salad. Look for a head that is compact and heavy, with no signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Grate the cauliflower finely: To achieve a texture that closely resembles potatoes, it's important to grate the cauliflower finely. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating attachment.
  • Press out the excess moisture from the cauliflower: After grating the cauliflower, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to press out the excess moisture. This will help prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables and herbs: To add flavor and texture to your potato salad, use a variety of vegetables and herbs. Some good options include celery, carrots, red onion, dill, and parsley.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: When cooking the vegetables for your potato salad, be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a mayonnaise-based dressing: A mayonnaise-based dressing is the classic choice for potato salad. You can use store-bought mayonnaise or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use fresh eggs and high-quality oil.
  • Season the potato salad to taste: Once you've assembled the potato salad, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Atkins cauliflower potato salad is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional potato salad. It's made with grated cauliflower instead of potatoes, so it's lower in carbs and calories. It's also packed with vegetables and herbs, which makes it a nutritious and satisfying dish. Whether you're following the Atkins diet or just looking for a healthier way to enjoy potato salad, this recipe is a great option.
