Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Dip With Garlic
This creamy dip doubles as a great sandwich spread. Image Credit: Everyday Healthy Recipes Gorin loves that this recipe is loaded with veggies since an entire head of cauliflower makes the base of this dip. “I’d suggest swapping out the vegetable oil for extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil to get more heart-healthy fats,” Gorin says. And if you serve this dip with chopped veggies like carrots, cucumbers, red peppers and broccoli, you’ll have a veggie-full appetizer that will be loaded with vitamins and minerals.

Using both skyr and anchovies in this recipe add protein, making it more substantial.
