For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon bits with smoked paprika or vegetarian bacon crumbles. Use a high-quality Italian dressing for the best flavor. Consider making your own from scratch! Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking. Some prefer a tangier flavor, while others like it creamier. This dish is best served cold, as the cauliflower will soften over time.
