Chop the cauliflower into small, bite-sized pieces, similar to the size of diced potatoes in a traditional potato salad.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the cauliflower pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes or until they are just tender. Be careful not to overcook them, as they should hold their shape.
Drain the cauliflower in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow it to cool and drain completely.
Meanwhile, dice the celery, hard-boiled eggs, and red onion into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooled cauliflower, diced celery, eggs, red onion, and fresh dill to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Toss gently until all the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir the salad before serving and garnish with a sprinkling of fresh dill if desired.
