This is delicious Yooper. My brother was here visiting from Toronto and I thought he was going to eat the whole bowl himself. I made it exactly as stated and wouldn't change a thing. Great low carb recipe!

Yooper, you genius! Great SS recipe! I nuked the cauliflower in the microwave, and instead of mayo just double the sour cream, I adore sour cream! I added some finely minced fresh dill, I can just see this becoming comfort food!

I guess we like things zestier. This salad was not a hit. Most of it was left on the buffet. I even added all of the artichoke marinade.

Cant believe how wonderful this is. the ingredient list is not promising, but wow, it hits the spot. I add a little of the artichoke oil in with the dressing and it lifts it a bit higher stil. I have added other ingredietns to make it a "more of a meal" salad, but it just doesn't need it. However, do not try it with frozen cauliflower, the texture is all wrong.
