Notes

    • Wash and drain the veggies well. Be sure they are completely dry.
    • I love to use a glass salad bowl so you can see how pretty the salad is.
    • This recipe is reminiscent of a seven layer salad, without so many ingredients.
    • Use approximately 1/2 head cauliflower and 1 smaller head of romaine. An estimate is fine.
    • Substitute Miracle Whip for Mayonnaise, if desired.
    • Green onions or fresh chives can be used in the creamy dressing.
    • Be sure to chill the creamy salad for at least 2 hours before serving.
    • Do not toss the salad until right before serving.
    • This salad is best if eaten the first day.
    • Creamy bacon cauliflower salad is low carb.
