Low Carb Chorizo, Egg and Roasted Cauliflower Salad

This flavorful Keto salad is loaded with flavor and healthy fats. Our tasty Keto salad is prepared with crispy fried chorizo, smokey roasted cauliflower florets, hard-boiled eggs, baby spinach, and sweet red onion. The salad is then finished with a drizzle of warm chorizo oil dressing to serve. This hearty low carb salad makes a great Keto lunch or light dinner option.

What Kind of Chorizo Should I Use?

We have used cured Spanish chorizo for our warm Keto salad recipe. The seasoning of Spanish chorizo works perfectly in this recipe to complement our paprika and garlic roasted cauliflower. For this recipe, the chorizo is sliced into discs and pan-fried until golden and releasing its fats. The chorizo oils are then mixed with crushed garlic, lemon juice, and fresh rosemary to create a warm salad dressing.

How to Hard-Boil Eggs

We have used two hard-boiled eggs for this Keto salad. You can prepare the eggs in advance, ready to add to the salad. To hard boil the eggs, simply add two fresh eggs to a small saucepan and cover them completely with water by about an inch. Bring the water up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the eggs for 7 minutes, then drain and run immediately under cold water. The eggs are then ready to use.

      Oh my that looks delicious and I will be making this soon! I am not eve n a big fan of cauliflower but with that seasoning I'm sure it will be wonderful. Spinach is my favorite leafy green too so bonus! I like that the recipe will make 2 salads and that cleared up my mind about where so many calories came from! LOL
