I cooked the cauliflower in a large skillet with grass fed butter, onions, and garlic cloves to soften the florets. Then put it in a bowl added all the Ingredients. I chilled it and my wife and I loved it. Great as a main or side dish.

I dispise cauliflower. However this recipe is GREAT. Made it last night and it was a major win. My wifew love it as well
Gina Campbell
Printed this recipe off quite some time ago, made it, wrote notes on the printout but never rated it. It was easy and good. Not necessary to drain the Italian dressing off; add bacos just before serving otherwise they become soggy.

I make this once a week with carrots , broccoli and onions and the fam loves it.
Kimberly Miller
This was all right. I wanted to do something different with cauliflower I had on hand but the family didn’t love it and leftovers sat until I threw them away. Doesn’t happen often in this house.
Samantha Shaw
Great tailgating food. Made as written and people wanted the recipe. Will do it again
Jason Buckley
Easy and Delicious!! Loved it! Simple to make. I used 3/4 qtr head, and marinated it in just about 6 oz. I added 1/2 cup of mayo and did not drain the dressing, as there was not much and it helped thin out the mayo. I added the bacon bits, but not the cheese (I am dairy free). Excellent!
Joshua Choi
We absolutely loved this! I used Greek yogurt so that added protein and significantly reduced the fat/calories. Win, win! I didn’t drain all of the Italian dressing and also added fresh ground black pepper and minced garlic per other reviews. I will make this often. Thanks!

I am making this salad for the 5th time…the first 2 times were exactly as stated…the last 3 have had some minor changes which work for me…1/2 low fat mayo + 1/2 Greek yogurt, add 4 chopped green onions, pinch of chilli flakes, marinated for 2 days….man oh man is it good!!!!! thanks for the original idea….there is never any leftover for lunches…..never!!
Stephanie Brooks
Love this! So easy and so good.

I didn’t want over-marinated cauliflower so I cut the amounts of the italian dressing and mayonnaise in half. I used a homemade italian dressing. Three out of four of us thought this was really good–I actually ate the rest as a snack last night. Next time, I might try to make this lighter using part nonfat greek yogurt in place of some of the mayonnaise. NOTE: The longer it sits, the better it tastes–if you have time, try to make this as early as you can before you have to serve it.

So easy and delicious. I did get a little too busy and left it marinating a few days. I used bacon cooked crisp and then crumbled in the cauliflower.
Traci Schroeder
I liked this very much. I didn’t put any cheese in it and I did cut the mayo in half. Will make again.
Tonya Osborn
This was awesome!!!!!! We all loved it and followed the recipe exactly.
Crystal Martinez
It was ok. . . A nice idea, but way too much mayo. I used only 1/2 cup and still felt like I was drowning in it.
Edward Greene
Sorry, did not suit my taste. Will not make again.
Franklin Richardson
I absolutely loved this recipe. Like so many others, I’m shocked that cauliflower can taste THIS good. I used fat free italian dressing, only about a half a cup and marinated for 5 hours. Half a cup of mayo and turkey bacon. Delicious!
Sheri Evans
I did not care for this recipe. I will try it again but I am going to try blanching the cauliflower before marinating. I think that will give the dish more flavor. I found it very bland.
Alicia Gibbs
Easy to make. Wonderful taste. I changed a little; added red onion and used sharp white cheddar. Excellent!
Cathy Jones
What a vegetable this is. I love how versatile cauliflower is. Marinating it is now my most favorite method of preparing it. I love your recipe and am looking forward trying it later this week (I have 3 heads of cauliflower waiting for me at home.)
Kimberly Wheeler
My boyfriend loves this recipe, he says I can make it any time. I like it too, but not quite as much as him, through no fault of the recipe, I think its just my resistance to cauliflower. It is pretty versatile too because you can use any kind of italian dressing or other kind of dressing, so that can really change it up. Its a great way to get your veggies in.
