This tender cauliflower steak recipe is a tasty, yet simple, paleo dish that pairs well with any entree or salad. The citrusy cilantro dressing compliments the roasted flavor of the cauliflower, making this a truly delicious way to enjoy one of my favorite vegetables.

A powerhouse of nutrients, cauliflower has many healthful benefits. It is naturally high in fiber, antioxidants, B-vitamins, and phytonutrients which help protect the body from harmful carcinogens. It is also contains glucosinolates – sulfur compounds that help your body to detoxify. 

Enjoy this as a side dish, a satisfying snack or as part of an entree or salad. Enjoy!
