Raw Cauliflower Salad. A nice twist on using cauliflower. We've had this recipe in our family for many years and it's always a nice change from the normal salad. Add or subtract ingredients as you have them on hand without greatly changing the overall recipe.
This has always been a hit at potlucks and family get-togethers.
It tastes best if you make it a day before you plan to serve it.
I call this raw cauliflower salad a "Caulislaw" because it's like a Coleslaw, but includes my favorite ingredient Cauliflower - which makes it so much tastier!

And while cabbage is known to cause bloat and other, ehm, "not so nice", intestinal issues (OK yes, I'm talking about farting), I've never had any of those issues with Cauliflower. Remove the core and leaves from the cauliflower. Cut into small, bite size florets and place in a large mixing bowl. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, bacon, cheese, green pepper and onion.
