5 ways to eat CAULIFLOWER
Raw with hummus, ranch, or your favorite dip!
Shredded as “cauliflower rice”. Steam or saute and use in place of rice in any dish!
Roasted with olive oil and salt (my favorite way to enjoy it)!
Steamed and mashed. Enjoy with butter, cream, garlic, and fresh herbs for an awesome alternative to mashed potatoes!
Steam, cool, and blend in a smoothie for extra creaminess (you don’t taste it)!
Breakfast
Great in breakfast casserole or quiches
Cinnamon Bun Cauliflower Smoothie
Lunch
Steamed with other mixed veggies makes for a great, light side dish over the noon hour
Steamed cauliflower with parmesan cheese and garlic salt
Dinner
Roasted (so simple but so good)
Sauteed in butter/olive oil and garlic salt
Curried Cauliflower (an extra nutrient boost from turmeric)
