Instructions
If cooking the bacon in the oven, preheat to 425 degrees. Spread it out on a large baking tray covered in foil and place it in the cold oven as you preheat it. 18-22 minutes later it should be done. Keep a close eye on it towards the end.
Chop or crumble the cooked bacon, and then add to a large mixing bowl with the cauliflower, cranberries or raisins, and red onions.
In a small bowl or large glass measuring cup, combine the mayonnaise, bacon grease, sugar, vinegar, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Pour the dressing over the ingredients in the bowl and toss well to coat.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. This will keep nicely for 2-3 days. Stir before serving.
