Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut heads of cauliflower into 3" pieces. Have a large bowl of ice water ready as well as a paper-towel lined (many layers) baking sheet. Working in batches, blanch the cauliflower in the hot water, each batch for 3-4 minutes. Remove and immediately place in the ice water to stop the cooking process. Let sit in water for a few minutes and remove to the paper-towel lined baking sheet (you will need to continue to add ice to keep water cold for the other batches). Repeat process with the rest of the cauliflower.
- When all cauliflower has been blanched, break into smaller pieces with your hands (stems too) and give a rough chop with a knife. (Here is the most important part, you will want your cauliflower to be completely dry before you mix it with the mayonnaise mixture.) Let cauliflower sit for a while in a single layer on a dry tray. Not doing this will result in a runny and diluted salad.
- Mix together mayonnaise, Old Bay, red pepper flakes and black pepper in a medium-sized bowl (you can do this up to a day ahead).
- Add blanched cauliflower to a large bowl along with celery, peas and red onion. Mix with the mayo-Old Bay mixture and salt to taste. Refrigerate at least four hours before serving or overnight. This salad tastes better the longer it sits!

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or wilting.
- Cut the cauliflower into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a food processor, be sure to pulse it only until the cauliflower is chopped into small florets. Do not over-process, or the cauliflower will become mushy.
- Season the cauliflower well: Old Bay seasoning is a great way to add flavor to cauliflower. You can also use other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cumin.
- Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help it to get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Be sure to toss the cauliflower halfway through cooking so that it cooks evenly.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately: Old Bay cauliflower is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish it with chopped parsley or cilantro.
Conclusion:
Old Bay cauliflower is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy cauliflower, and it is also a healthy and nutritious snack. Whether you are serving it as a side dish or a snack, Old Bay cauliflower is sure to be a hit!
