In this recipe I use Cauliflower AND a package of Shiritake Noodles. It can also be made substituting the Shiritake Noodles for Cauliflower.
NOTE: Disclaimer. Some people have reported gastrointestinal issues when consuming Shiritake noodles. Use your own discretion. Do not consume 4 packages (3 servings ea) like someone did..that individual ended up in the hospital.
Many people also experience intestinal upset with things like kidney beans due to the lectins which can be toxic to some. I have also heard reports of people experiencing gastrointestinal upset when using OLEAN and products that are cooked in it.
If you are sensitive to the Shiritake Yam Noodle, (miracle Noodles) then substitute the Noodles for 2- 1” thick slices of Cauliflower . It will still be delicious and low carb.
Don’t Crucify me on this one!?
It’s weird, yes, but guess what… It works…… for us anyway since we are trying to do low carb. If your like us and miss Potato Salad and Macaroni Salad, then maybe this is a solution for you too.
My motto, enough Mayo and anything is good right..
Just kidding.
It doesn’t take any more than normal Potato Salad.
The twists are Cauliflower….(no big surprise on that right)
But that’s not all.. the real surprise is the UNCOOKED Shiritake Noodles, chopped up a bit fine bit not as fine as rice.? who woulda thunk!
Soo, no Potatoes, Potato salad….everything else is the same, Mayo, scallion, eggs, celery salt and pepper.
Makes about 4 cups
1 pkg Shiritake Noodles, drained, rinsed and drained again really well. and wrung out between paper towel lined regular kitchen towel.
1 c ish chopped celery
1/4 tsp celery seed
2 small scallions chopped
1/3- 1/2 c Mayo…ish
Salt and pepper to taste
2-3 boiled eggs chopped
1 tsp Parsley chopped fine
Paprika to taste sprinkle on top.
1” slice of cauliflower cooked in the IP for 1 min QR Chopped up like potato pieces.
If you don’t have an IP (Instant Pot) you can steam the Cauliflower for a couple minutes or just microwave it for about 1 min till it still has a little crunch. Or blanch it’s for a couple min..
You do need to taste it and add more salt and pepper.
Here is my Original recipe for reference.. tweek it as you like.
