Why I Love This:
Cauliflower is a great source of Vitamins C, K, B6, B12, and Folate. It is a very good source of protein, dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, phosphorus, and biotin! Cauliflower also has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. The dijon adds a nice kick of flavor with very few calories, and the parmesan adds calcium. Parsleyis rich in many vital vitamins, including Vitamin C, B 12, K and A. Yum!
