Japanese-Style Potato Salad With Sesame Dressing And Jammy Eggs (Paleo, Dairy-Free, Low-Carb)

Why this version is better

Cauliflower replaces potato as the primary carb driver, cutting net carbs by roughly 10g per serving. Removing dairy-based Greek yogurt eliminates lactose. Avocado oil mayo increases monounsaturated fat quality. Protein is boosted by retaining all 4 eggs fully and keeping bacon. Overall the dish becomes paleo, dairy-free, and gluten-free while hitting under 650 calories and a higher protein-to-carb ratio.

Cooking note: Replacing whole milk Greek yogurt with full-fat coconut yogurt maintains the creamy emulsion base but removes dairy. Swapping yellow potatoes for cauliflower florets dramatically cuts carbs and keeps the chunky texture while remaining paleo-compliant. The Kewpie mayo is replaced with a paleo-friendly avocado oil mayo, preserving the emulsified fat structure of the dressing. The sesame dressing is swapped for a homemade tamari-sesame blend (using coconut aminos) to eliminate gluten and non-paleo additives. No significant chemistry disruptions expected as all swaps are like-for-like in terms of fat/water emulsion behavior.
