Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/3 cup bacon (approx. 4-5 strips), crumbled
  • 3/4 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, roughly chopped (optional)
  • 3 tbsp. chives, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp. parsley, finely chopped
Dressing
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp. chopped pickles
  • 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cut the head of cauliflower into small bite-sized florets and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and slightly golden.  
  • While the cauliflower is baking, fry the bacon in a pan on the stove. Once it's crisp, roughly chop it into small bite-sized pieces. 
  • In a food processor or using a hand blender, combine the mayonnaise, pickles, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper and blend until the pickles are broken into small pieces. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. 
  • Once the cauliflower is tender, remove from the oven and allow to cool before transferring to a salad bowl. Top with the chopped bacon, red onion, celery, parsley, and chives. Pour the dressing over top and toss until well coated. Enjoy!
