Citrusy Papaya Cauliflower Ceviche

Sweet meets sour in the Citrusy Papaya Cauliflower Ceviche! Taking inspiration from ceviche flavors all across Latin America including Peru, Mexico, Chile, and Ecuador, this dish is truly unique. Sweet papaya adds a delightful and colorful twist to an otherwise sour and zingy flavor experience. Marinated in our version of plant-based “Leche De Tigre” (Spanish for tiger's milk), cauliflower florets become tender the longer they sit (see Chef’s Notes for tips). Fresh mango, papaya, red onion, and jalapeno add a variety of nutrients, colors, flavors, and textures to create a festive ceviche that celebrates both culinary techniques and wholesome nutrition!

Vibrant asparagus is generously coated with cheesy walnut parmesan adding healing omega-3 fatty acids along with boatloads of fiber and antioxidants to create a tasty appetizer that is teeming with goodness and nourishment abound. Maybe we should have called this Amazing Omega Asparagus since there are lots of omega-3s in the flax egg and plenty of omega-3s in the walnut parmesan–either way, go plants!
