Wash the cucumbers, cauliflower, and onions thoroughly.
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, separate the cauliflower into small florets, and chop the onions finely.
Place the prepared vegetables into a large bowl, sprinkle with the salt, and cover with water. Let sit for 2 hours to draw out excess moisture.
After 2 hours, drain the vegetables and rinse with cold water to remove excess salt. Set aside.
In a large pot, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, dry mustard powder, turmeric, and celery seed. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the pot while stirring constantly to thicken the liquid.
Once the mustard sauce has thickened, add the prepared vegetables to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the sauce.
Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Carefully transfer the hot pickles into sterilized glass jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal the jars with sterilized lids and bands.
Let the jars cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator or processing them in a boiling water bath for long-term storage.
Allow the pickles to sit for at least 1 week before eating to develop their full flavor.
