Ingredients
– 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
– 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1/2 cup diced red onion
– 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 1/4 cup sour cream
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
– Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. **Prepare the cauliflower:** Steam the cauliflower florets until tender but still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool completely.
2. **Combine ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower, crumbled bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped parsley.
3. **Prepare the dressing:** In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. **Assemble the salad:** Pour the dressing over the cauliflower mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
5. **Chill and serve:** Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
– For a dairy-free version, use a vegan mayonnaise and omit the sour cream.
– To add a spicy kick, consider mixing in some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing.
– This salad can be made a day ahead; the flavors improve as they meld in the refrigerator.
