Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Garlic Tahini Dressing is the perfect side dish to any meal. Warm, comforting, and super nutritious, the roasted cauliflower is a source of prebiotics, which feed the healthy bacteria in your gut and help support a healthy immune system and aid in digestion. The Lemon Garlic Tahini Dressing is an oil-free, protein-rich, anti-inflammatory dressing (and is so delicious, you’ll want to dip and drizzle it on everything).
