Purple cauliflower. Is it not beautiful? And you may be thinking \u201cis this really natural?\u201d. Yes, it is! As part of the Brassicaceae family, just like red cabbage, it too can be found in this beautiful hue thanks to the antioxidant anthocyanin (also found in red wine my friends!). No dye, no GMO. Just an all-natural, super tasty bowl of steamed purple cauliflower tossed with bright summery lemon juice, olive oil, capers, and parsley. L O V E.

Jewel hued cauliflower adds \u201cpop\u201d to an otherwise bland looking dish<\/h2>\n

So like cauliflower hasn\u2019t already catapulted its way to the top of the charts with a strong comeback over the last years. Well, I\u2019m thinking that with more and more of this lovely looking gem colored cauliflower popping up at the famers markets and even my local grocery store, this previous underdog of the vegetable world is sure to keep its place at the top. Okay, purple cauliflower does have its place. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll be making a purple soup out of it, or be using it for a low-carb pizza base or stir-fried \u201ccauliflower rice\u201d, but roasted or steamed for a salad\u2026definitely. In salads is where I think it\u2019s color should shine!

A quick and simple purple cauliflower salad recipe that is surprisingly addictive<\/h2>\n

Growing up eating cauliflower meant eating plain over-cooked, falling apart, steamed cauliflower without any fancy trimming. Not only was the color dull, but it had a taste to match. It took me years to give it another chance. Now I\u2019m a big fan of roasted cauliflower AND newly steamed cauliflower too. I never imagined that such a simple thing as a steamed cauliflower salad could be so delicious.<\/p>\n

And being the vegetable freak that I am, I ate the whole thing to myself. That\u2019s a whole lot of cauliflower! Leave me home alone for a few hours and look what happens! It all started as a light lunch to share later, but then I nibbled and nibbled and then polished the rest off as an afternoon snack. Thank goodness I can feel so good about addict-like clean eating behavior. It’s not like I scarfed down a chocolate cake or anything. Yeah to guilt-free veggie gluttony — eat as much as you like! As a super-food in its own right, it\u2019s packed with dietary fiber, folate and vitamin C!<\/p>\n
