01
Step 1
Start by setting up a steamer basket inside a saucepan and adding enough water so it just comes up to the bottom of the basket. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the cauliflower florets, cover again, and let them steam until they’re just tender—this usually takes between 2 to 6 minutes depending on how thick the pieces are.

Step 2
While the cauliflower is steaming, combine the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir everything together and cook until the mixture is warmed through, which should take about 10 minutes.

Step 3
When the cauliflower is ready, transfer it to a large plate and pour the warm sauce over the top. Serve right away and enjoy!
