o.k., i was thinking more of the large pieces of cauliflower, carrot
slices, etc. rather than the condiment.

Yes. That's the spring mix that's known as giardiniera outside
Chicago. I guess I was cornfuuzzed as to what you were looking for.

i've been looking for the
dilled cauliflower heads by mezzetta, which i used to see all the time
but seems to have disappeared in the stores i go to.

Louise got a quart size jar of that from a dollar store for $1.09 a
few months ago. It was pretty good even though it was probably from
china. It's not something we normally get so I can't recommend any
brands.

i have a jar of
their 'california hot mix,' but it's almost too hot for what i have in
mind, which is just a little something on the side for a sandwich or
the like.

I've seen many recipes for giardiniera like what you're looking for.
They looked pretty easy. This one looks pretty simple:

Here's one more like what I like and you can control the heat. I'd
use serranos though.
