  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 1 & 1/2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large nonstick skillet, bring 1/4-1/3 water to boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and let cool while you prep the other ingredients.

  2. 2

    In the same skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Once cool, chop up until tiny pieces.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth. Fold in the cauliflower, cooked chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives. Toss to coat.
