Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Garlic Tahini Dressing

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 😉)
