ROASTED SMOKY CAULIFLOWER WITH LIMEY YOGURT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
• Break up the cauliflower into evenly sized florets about 1-inch long. You can use a knife to divide the large florets if they don't break easily.
• In a large bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup oil, coriander, mango powder, if using, cumin, salt and pepper, to taste. Add the florets and, using your hands, gently toss to coat.
• Pour the prepared baking sheet and roast until tender and slightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway through.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt with the lime zest, a splash of extra-virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime (as much as you like).
• Serve the cauliflower with a dollop of yogurt on the side, and enjoy a whole new way to eat cauliflower!

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER DIP

Steps:

• Pour water into a medium saucepan to a depth of 1/4"; add cauliflower and garlic. Cover, bring to a boil over high heat, and cook until florets are very easily pierced with a paring knife, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion, cumin, and 1 tsp. salt and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until onion is golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
• Transfer onion mixture to a blender. Add yogurt, lemon zest and juice, reserved cauliflower, and remaining 1 tsp. salt and purée until smooth. With the motor running, add 2 Tbsp. oil in a steady stream until well combined. If dip is too thick, blend in 1 Tbsp. water at a time to reach desired consistency. Let cool to room temperature.
• To serve, spread dip in a wide bowl or platter. Drizzle with oil and top with parsley. Serve with romaine hearts and endive leaves alongside for dipping.
• Do Ahead
• Dip can be made 5 days ahead; cover and chill.
