For a tangier flavor, try adding a tablespoon of pickle relish or a splash of pickle juice to the dressing. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as radishes or cucumbers, for added crunch and flavor. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a teaspoon of sugar or a touch of your favorite sugar substitute to the dressing. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing. Ensure the cauliflower is not overcooked, as it will become mushy. It should be tender-crisp. Duke's mayonnaise adds a special zing.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
7 mins
Prepare the Cauliflower: Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and add water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
02
Step
5 mins
Combine and Mix: In a large bowl, combine the sliced celery, chopped green pepper, and finely chopped onion. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix thoroughly. (5 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Incorporate Cauliflower and Eggs: Once the cauliflower has cooled, gently add it to the bowl along with the chopped hard-boiled eggs. Toss lightly until everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to overmix, as the cauliflower can become mushy. (3 minutes)
04
Step
6 hrs
Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. This chilling time is crucial for the best taste and texture. (6-24 hours)
