For the best texture, ensure the cauliflower is sliced very thinly. A mandoline slicer works wonders for this! Feel free to adjust the amount of dressing to your liking. Some people prefer a slightly lighter or heavier dressing. If you don't have pimentos on hand, a small amount of finely diced red bell pepper can be used as a substitute. Consider adding a pinch of celery seed to the dressing for extra flavor depth. Garnish with some fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika before serving for an added visual appeal.
