Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole cauliflower, steamed and florets chopped into chunks
6 slices turkey bacon or 6 slices smoked bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
4 -5 scallions, chopped

  • Be sure to squeeze all of the excess moisture out of the cauliflower before adding it to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • For a more flavorful salad, roast the cauliflower before adding it to the salad. To roast the cauliflower, toss it with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then, spread it on a baking sheet and roast it at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • If you don't have celery or onion on hand, you can use other vegetables, such as chopped bell pepper or cucumber.
  • For a creamy potato salad, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.
