With its filling bread and savory Italian bacon, this rustic salad is perfect both as a side or as the main event.
"The only word I can use to describe this dish is PERFECTION! I used to not be as big of a fan of cauliflower, but this was delicious. The cheese sauce is just the right consistency and bakes marvellously. Since I can't find dried English mustard around here, I made my own (Recipe #403803) and it worked brilliantly."

-mjrdesign

"Excellent! My son LOVED broccoli casserole as a child, and this Christmas he asked me to make it. I was so touched because it brought back so many memories. I looked for a recipe similar to what I used to make and found this. Everyone loved it!"

"This is divine! I've never made macaroni and cheese from scratch and this is so delicious! I followed the recipe for the sauce exactly except for adding a little more cheese in the sauce then it calls for (because we like extra-cheesy food). It was perfect: lightly tangy and very flavorful. I think the dry mustard really makes it taste so good."
-SaraFish
"Quick and easy, but lacking flavor a bit. I find it helps to add some honey or maple syrup to supplement the taste or even a minute amount of cloves. Not bad. Cheers."
-Chef Swifticus
"Stop what you are doing and make these potatoes! I have made these twice, and I am seriously in love. I look organized by having them done ahead of time and they are oh-so-good. They are creamy, moist and so flavorful, you will not believe your taste buds."
-Taylors Mommy
"This was just perfect! My bacon was a little lean, so I did add a little olive oil to the bacon fat. I used toasted pecans instead of hazelnuts."
-tara portee
"I make this every year and no one can tell it's a "diabetic-friendly" recipe."
-susanjbourgeois
"Very easy and tasty. I used kale instead of chard since I have it growing in my garden."
-Diana Johnson
"I added a couple sprigs of thyme and a few cloves of garlic. Instead of roasting on a tray, I wrapped these in foil. They turned out wonderfully! Tender, yet with some bite left, these had lots of flavor and were very pretty on the plate."
-IngridH
"The dressing was perfect with the beets. I'm glad we tried grilling them, though, because it was an easy and convenient way to cook them."
-emkatc
"This is an excellent salad. I added some dried cranberries and topped with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Try candied walnuts for little variety, too!"
-Mick's Kitchen
"This recipe is a winner! I'm notorious for changing things up a bit, so instead of parsley I added some rosemary and thyme."
-Jessica H.
"The aroma brought the entire family into the kitchen to see what Dad was cooking. The entire batch was gone within the first hour. Light, fluffy and very tasty. Almost French with all that butter."
-Carl S.

-Bogey'sMom
"Definitely five stars. Made this with Mean Chef's Fettuccine Alfredo and Tracy K's brussel sprout recipe. Really terrific--liked how many anchovy fillets were used, really perked up the flavor, and I found the addition of both vinegars to add a whole other dimension to the caesar dressing. Thanks for posting this Evelyn! "

-Outta Here
"This was the best spinach salad I've ever eaten! Everything about it was great. I did substitute toasted slivered almonds for the sunflower seeds. I'll definitely make it again and again!"
