Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Warm Kale Salad
The holiday season is nearly upon us! This typically lazy and indulgent period is full of opportunities to feast ourselves into a serious food coma. This two-part entrée (originally created for vegan footwear brand Native Shoes) is 100 percent delicious. Skip the tryptophan this year in favor of a flavorful roasted cauliflower surrounded by a rich and creamy warm kale salad. Your guests will be impressed by your out-of-the-box choice and ooh and ah over its beauty.
