Step-by-Step Method
Prep the cauliflower
Break the cauliflower into florets. If any pieces are large, cut them down so they cook evenly.
Boil briefly
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the florets and cook for 5 minutes, keeping them slightly firm. Drain well; for a crisper bite, rinse quickly under cold water and drain again.
Toss with lemon
Transfer the cauliflower to a serving bowl. Drizzle in the lemon juice and toss gently so the florets don’t break. Add a pinch of salt if you’d like.
Serve
Serve warm or at room temperature. If you have a minute, let it sit for 5 minutes so the lemon flavor spreads through.
