Loaded Broccoli Salad | BLT Cauliflower Salad
Before I went low carb I was obsessed with noodle salads. I love Asian flavors and also love anything and everything noodle. The Asian flavors aren't so problematic on a low carb diet but the noodles, yup there's my problem.
I have since become accustomed to zoodles, and also butternut squash noodles, spaghetti squash "noodles", and even cauliflower in some recipes but, none of those really "did it for me" in this dish.
I was standing over yet another bowl of the attempt of remaking my carby fave and I must have had a strange look on my face because my husband asked me what was wrong.
I told him that the flavors were good but I just wasn't feeling the noodle substitute I had used.
He says, "Well, did you try those hearts of palm noodles? The ones you made your lasagna and chicken tetrazzini with?".
I stood there for a minute and couldn't believe this man, who is so NOT keto, was able to come up with the answer over me, the person that does this stuff for a living.
A win for Kevin and an epic fail for me!
I luckily had some Palmini noodles in the pantry and quickly threw together the shopping list so I could make this version. And, once we both tasted it we knew this was it, this was the winner.
So let my multiple recipe tests, and epic fail, be the win for you by making this noodle salad ASAP and sharing it with as many people as you can.
They will thank you for it!
