Cauliflower is a superfood that comes in many shapes and colors – did you know that it’s not uncommon to find orange, yellow, and even purple varieties? This brightly-colored cauliflower still tastes the same and has all the nutrition we know and love.
While we love adding color to our plates, our favorite thing about this veggie is its versatility. Try making this delicious side with dinner – it’s super healthy, but we won’t tell if you don’t!
