Although I did include all the ingredients you listed, the amounts were kind of juggled around! I used a small head of both the cauliflower & lettuce, used just half a pound of bacon & 2/3 of the mayo. I also used a sweet onion! And, although I like raw cauliflower, my other half prefers it at least slightly steamed, so I did that, too. All that is a good cause, apparently, because the end result was a great tasting salad!
