Cauliflower is one of my favorite and ultimate versatile vegetables which can be used in a variety of dishes. It absorbs a lot of exciting flavors, it is low in calorie and its texture can be transformed from crunchy to creamy depending on how you cook it.
In addition to its culinary versatility, cauliflower deserves a special recognition for its remarkable nutritional values with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and cancer fighting phytochemicals. This anti-oxidant rich and delicious recipe is beautifully vibrant in color and full of flavors. I love it hot or cold, by itself or as a side dish. Enjoy!
