The Yummiest Roasted Cauliflower Salad Recipe

This is so good , you are going to want to keep making it over and over again!  I know.. Cauliflower is not on the most wanted list.. but you are going to LOVE this salad.

Who likes cauliflower?? Raise your hand!

I do!  I love it roasted with a little olive oil, capers, parmesan and lemon zest (recipe here) – so good!

But this is another recipe all together…

When I asked for salad submissions this Cauliflower Salad recipe came from a follower on my Instagram.  One look and I knew I was going to love it!

Who likes Bacon?

ME!  Anything with bacon makes me happy.  Add in their crunch of celery and a red onion … and I am even happier.

This is our second salad for the Salad Days of Summer and I couldn’t be happier.  I love the roasted cauliflower with the lightly Dijon mayonnaise dressing – the salty bacon, crunchy celery, the egg shows up and then of course the red onion.  Did I mention the chives?  Yup.. that is a good addition to this recipe.

We made it for July 4th with ribs and the freshest local corn on the cob – it was a really good dinner!  Hence the red, white and blue styling 🙂

Be sure to report back what you think when you make it – I want to here your reviews!
