It’s still early in the week, so keep your healthy eating mentality going with this scrumptious cauliflower recipe courtesy of The Skinnytaste Cookbook. This recipe is perfect for anybody looking for another cruciferous vegetable to incorporate into their diet that isn’t simply broccoli. While cauliflower has a less delicate flavor than the greener broccoli, this recipe calls for our favorite superfood spice, turmeric, to give it a richer flavor—as well as a delightful bright yellow color. Easy, simple, and a quick go-to for your Wednesday night dinner.
