Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Spread bacon out on the prepared baking sheet; place it in the cold oven while preheating it. It should be done in about 18-22 minutes, keeping an eye on it towards the end.
While the bacon is cooking, place the cauliflower, raisins, and red onions in a large bowl.
Crumble the cooked bacon; add to a large bowl.
Dressing:
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, bacon grease, sugar, vinegar, and salt; whisk until smooth; pour over the ingredients in the bowl; toss to coat.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. The salad will keep for 2-3 days.
Stir before serving.
