This is so good! This broccoli salad recipe comes from my Nana Birdie.

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper sauce (such as Frank's® RedHot®)
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

2. Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, pepper sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for dressing together in a bowl.
3. Remove florets from the ice water and put on paper towels to dry.
4. When ready to serve, transfer florets to a large bowl. Mix in carrot, onion, and bacon. Pour in dressing and toss until well distributed. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
