INSTRUCTIONS

1
Roast the cauliflower

Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine cauliflower, just ½ tsp turmeric, polenta, 2 tbsp olive oil, and ½ tsp salt in large bowl and toss. Transfer to baking sheet and roast until cauliflower is slightly browned and crisp in places, 35 to 40 minutes, gently flipping halfway through.

2
Heat the quinoa

Meanwhile, make small tear at top of quinoa bag and microwave for 60 seconds. Transfer to medium bowl and stir in just 1 tsp dill, lemon zest, and just half the lemon juice and set aside. (TIP: You can also combine precooked quinoa and 1 tbsp water in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and steam until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.)

3
Make the kale salad and serve

Combine kale, 1 tsp olive oil, remaining lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in large bowl and toss to coat. Divide lemon-dill quinoa and kale salad between bowls. Top with polenta-crusted cauliflower. Drizzle with ranch and Buffalo sauce. Dig in!
