Keto Potato Salad Recipe

Cup Green Peas

Mayonnaise

Water

Cut turnips and carrots

Peel the turnips entirely. Cut all the turnips into bite sized pieces with a sharp knife, as regular potatoes typically do. At the same time, cut fresh carrots and place them all into a bowl ready for cooking.

Cut onions and pickles

Cut onion and all the pickles into small tiny squares and place them aside. At the same time, prepare your other ingredients. 

Prepare the salad dressing

In a big glass bowl, add yogurt with mayonnaise and approximately 1/3rd of a cup of liquid left from your pickle jar. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix. 

Boil turnips with carrots

Place turnips and carrots into a cooking pot, add boiling water, bring to a boil and let it cook until tender for 15 minutes maximum. 

Strain and shock

Once your carrots and turnips are boiled, strain them through a strainer and pour a very cold pot of water to shock them, so they immediately stop the cooking process.

Add all into a big glass bowl

Add all remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl, such as the onion, pickles, and green peas. Pour the whole dressing you have stored in the fridge. 

Mix together and season

Using two spatulas, gently mix the ingredients and salad dressing together. Refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours before you are ready to serve.
