This creamy cauliflower sauce is a healthy lactose-free alternative to Alfredo sauce.

I use lactose-free milk, but you can use a milk substitute like soy milk to make this a fully vegan sauce.

My good friend, Jess, taught me this recipe and encouraged me to post an instructable about it so others can enjoy it too!

Cut the cauliflower into florets, add to a pot, cover with water and bring to boil. Cook the cauliflower until you can easily pierce it with fork. Drain.

Saute the chopped onions and garlic in the olive oil.

In a blender, add the cooked cauliflower, onions and garlic, milk, lemon juice, salt and pepper and blend until smooth.
