Instructions

Steam or boil cauliflower florets until tender-crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly before adding to the salad.
In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. Gently fold in the cooled cauliflower, hard-boiled eggs, red onion, peas, dill pickles, and crispy bacon until everything is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the more flavorful the salad becomes!
