Step 1
Set up a steamer basket inside a saucepan and add enough water so it just reaches below the steamer. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the cauliflower, cover again, and steam until it’s just tender—this usually takes between 2 and 6 minutes depending on the size of your pieces.
Step 2
While the cauliflower is steaming, mix the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir everything together and let it warm 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!
Serving Ideas For Every Meal

Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or cream if it thickens too much.
