Cauliflower is such an unsung hero. We love it in so many ways. Steaming the cauliflower whole makes a beautiful presentation, and the lemon-garlic yogurt sauce really dresses it up nicely.

How To Make whole cauliflower with lemon-dijon yogurt sauce

Step 1

Remove leaves from the cauliflower and place it "whole" in a steamer. Water should barely touch the bottom of the cauliflower. Steam for approximately 15 minutes or until tender, but still slightly crisp.

Step 2

Combine mustard, yogurt, lemon juice, zest, and garlic - mix well.
Step 3

Place cauliflower in a small serving dish and spoon yogurt mixture over the top. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chives.
