Place in a large bowl by layers, the following: Lettuce and cauliflower.
Spread the mayonnaise on top, making sure it covers the lettuce layer completely and touches the sides of the bowl (this acts as a seal and keeps the lettuce and cauliflower fresh -- essential to this salad! )
Next, spread the onion, bacon, Parmesan cheese, and sugar.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Toss and serve immediately.
Notes
This salad tastes best made the night before. You can certainly whip it up the same day but I love to make it ahead and refrigerate overnight.
