How to Make Keto Potato Salad {Quick Overview}
This is just a quick overview of some of the steps involved in making the low carb side dish. For the recipe in detail, including exact measurements used at each step, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
First, you will need to prepare and roast the radishes. (I initially tried making this recipe with boiled radishes like the boiled potatoes you use for potato salad, and trust me when I say the outcome was not good!)
Prep the radishes by removing the tops and roots, cutting them into quarters, and placing them on a baking sheet.
Roast in a pre-heated oven.
✨ TIP: You can roast them until they’re soft (like potatoes in potato salad) or roast them until they’re crispy for something a little different.
When they’re done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the radishes to cool to room temperature.
Next, you’ll make the dressing. Mix together mayonnaise, pickle relish, mustard, apple cider vinegar, Swerve Confectioners, salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl.
Stir in the onion, celery, and hard-boiled eggs until everything’s well combined.
Add the cooled radishes…
… and toss until well-combined. I just love the color the radishes provide!
Put the salad in the fridge until cool, about four hours.
Right before serving, feel free to sprinkle on more salt, pepper, paprika, or even some fresh dill if you’d like!
