Orange cauliflower is a lovely vegetable that you will find at your local farmer's market this time of year. It has a slightly stronger taste than regular, white cauliflower. My favorite thing about this veggie is that it makes all your mixed vegetable dishes look fantastic. Kids tend to like it better than other vegetables because of it's fun color.
