Time P1DT35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound bacon
1 head iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
1 head cauliflower, florets finely chopped
1 large red onion, shaved thin
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons white sugar
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 dash ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Chop into small pieces.
  • Layer iceberg lettuce, cauliflower, red onion, bacon, mayonnaise, sugar, and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl, in that order. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Place a heavy pan on top of the salad to press it down.
  • Refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours, checking occasionally that salad is still pressed down.
  • Toss salad; season with black pepper.
