Cauliflower is a vegetable that I used to straight up avoid as a child. This vegetable steamed tastes like absolutely nothing. However, in the last few years, this floret has been the star of the plate and has even shined as it’s own entree option at many restaurants. It’s also amazing as a “rice” substitute. When it’s mixed with some great herbs and sauces, it really becomes so craveable and enjoyable as a replacement for rice or pasta. See below for a super easy recipe, and as a bonus, I’ve included an even easier salmon recipe. Nothing fancy here, folks, just some healthy food you can make after a long days work and still feel satisfied.
