Preparation Steps
  1. Boil the Cauliflower in a large pot of salted water for about 7 minutes until tender yet crunchy. Drain and cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss grape tomatoes in olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast for 20-30 minutes until caramelized.
  3. In a skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
  4. Sauté leeks in reserved bacon fat over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until translucent and tender.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine dill pickle relish, keto mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  6. In the bowl with the dressing, add cooled cauliflower, crumbled bacon, sautéed leeks, roasted tomatoes, and sliced green onions. Fold together gently.
  7. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Serve cold.
