This dish can be made with raw or roasted cauliflower or steamed broccoli. I just discovered raw cauliflower recently and I love it. You can also add sliced mushrooms, red and yellow diced pepper or halved cherry tomatoes. In other words, be as creative as you want with this recipe and add whatever works for you.
