    In large bowl, toss roasted cauliflower, bacon and onion. In small bowl, beat oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard and paprika with whisk until smooth. Pour dressing over cauliflower mixture; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour until chilled or overnight.

  • Though traditional German potato salad is served warm, this chilled version needs time to marinate before serving. That intensifies the flavors.
  • Not a mustard fan? Use it anyway! The mustard is key to the flavor of this salad—and no, it doesn’t taste “mustardy.”
