I thought this was okay, but I'd rather have regular potato salad. If you're trying to avoid potatoes, then this is a decent substitute.

I was a little hesitant about the raw cauliflower, and I must admit to thinking about just steaming it a little, but thought....follow the directions as written, and I am so glad I did leave it raw!<br/>Although I used grainy mustard as I was not sure which type to use, and also left out the bacon, the recipe was followed as written and ........I loved it, the rest of the family were very hesistant but they did try it.<br/>I must admit I was the only one truly over the moon with this recipe ..... I just loved it! <br/>Ahh well, that mean's I get to enjoy more of it! <br/>The more time this salad chills the better it taste's!<br/>Thanks for a great recipe Debbwl.

Very, very good! I left out the eggs (didn't have any) and the bacon. This tasted better the longer it sat. Definitely going to make this one again. Made for Newest Zaar Tag Game 2011.

This is such a flavorful and satisfying salad! I had my doubts about raw cauliflower, but definitely am encouraged. I used spicy brown mustard and added the bacon. I plan to use this as a work-day salad for lunches this coming week. Thanks, Debbwl, for a real healthy hit at my home! Made for Best of 2010 Tag Game as recommended by loof.
