In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, diced green and red bell peppers, sliced celery, sliced carrot, sliced serrano peppers, and sliced garlic.
Sprinkle the salt over the vegetables and toss them until they are well-coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
After the vegetables have marinated, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white vinegar, cold water, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black peppercorns.
Combine the rinsed vegetables with the dressing, tossing to coat evenly.
Transfer the giardiniera to sealable glass jars or containers, making sure the vegetables are submerged in the liquid.
Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using to allow the flavors to meld together.
Store in the refrigerator and enjoy your Keto Giardiniera as a flavorful, crunchy topping for salads, sandwiches, or antipasto.
