Cauliflower salad

I've previously tried a cauliflower salad recipe from Elana's Pantry, and was quite smitten with it. This is a variation that happens to be even simpler and works well as a sort of substitute to a heap of starchy carbohydrate based salad.

1/2 head cauliflower, broken into small florets
1/2" sliver of red onion, finely chopped
3 tsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
2 - 3 tsp lemon juice
Black pepper
Seasalt

Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender. Remove, rinse under cold water, drain and then roughly chop into smaller pieces.

In a bowl whisk together the salt, pepper, mustard, lemon juice and mayonnaise. Add the finely chopped red onion.

Stir in the cauliflower, and adjust dressing ingredients if required.

Top with a garlic sautéd portobello mushroom, thinly sliced, if you happen to have one just waiting. Inadvertently let it strike a heartwarming pose.
