Cauliflower is an awesome source of Vitamin C and Fiber, while Carrots pack a huge punch of Vitamin A. Our souffle combines the two to provide 80% of your daily value of both Vitamin A & C and has 4g of dietary fiber. In addition to those great attributes, the Cauliflower Souffle also has 7g of Protein.
I never would have thought I'd be writing about how great cauliflower is; I still remember the days that I wouldn't eat a single vegetable unless it had cheese sauce on it. Maybe you already like cauliflower, maybe not, but why not give it a try this weekend as a nice lite meal.
Taste notes: (courtesy of Weight Watchers website!)
Cauliflower goes well with most nuts except peanuts, and is great with dried fruits like raisins, sultanas and currants. Ground cinnamon, cumin, coriander and nutmeg are all great spices with cauliflower.
Chicken Salad:
(Yields 4, so make the full batch and then save the rest for lunch the next day!)
Toss together in a bowl:
3 cups diced cooked chicken
1 peeled, cored and diced apple
2 tbsp raisins
1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts
1 cup halved red seedless grapes
1/2 cup lite mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain low fat yogurt
4 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp each salt and black pepper
Serve atop a bed of baby spinach and enjoy!
