Prep and Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 lb cauliflower
• 5 TBS low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 2 TBS chopped cilantro
• Mediterranean Dressing
• 3 TBS extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 2 medium cloves garlic
• sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cut cauliflower florets into quarters and let sit for 5 minutes to bring out their hidden health benefits.
2. Press or chop garlic and let for 5 minutes.
3. Heat 5 TBS broth in a stainless steel skillet on medium heat.
4. When broth begins to steam, add cauliflower and turmeric and cover. For al dente cauliflower, cook for no more than 5 minutes.
5. Transfer to a bowl. For more flavor toss cauliflower with the remaining ingredients while it is still hot. (Mediterranean Dressing does not need to be made separately.) Research shows that carotenoids found in foods are best absorbed when consumed with oils.
6. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Daily Food Tip

If my foods are nutrient rich, will I be satisfied with smaller portions?

From the standpoint of your body chemistry, nutrient-rich foods will leave you more satisfied even though you eat smaller portions. The reason is simple. Nutrient-rich foods contain a wide variety and significant amount of essential nutrients, and do not have to be eaten in large quantities to provide your body with nutrient supplies. Because a small serving still makes a large nutritional impact, your body can be chemically satisfied with a relatively small amount.

Body chemistry, however, is not the only thing we try to satisfy when we eat. Many of us do not eat simply to satisfy our hunger pains, or to provide our cells with the right amount of vitamin C. Think about how often we eat for other reasons! For example, we might eat to reduce our stress, or to end our boredom, to to comfort our sadness, or to lessen our anger. When we eat for these reasons, nutrient dense foods may not help us become more satisfied with smaller portions. If you are eating the World's Healthiest Foods, consuming the right amount of calories to meet your individual needs, and still not feeling satisfied, try to think about and identify non-nutritional reasons that might be involved. Are you also trying to reduce your stress, or to end boredom? Try to identify the real cause of your stress or boredom, and then take one simple step to change things. For example, if you are stressed because you never seem to have time to exercise, step out the door right that moment for a short five-minute walk. Don't let your stress convince you that the World's Healthiest Foods can't help you become more satisfied. They are the highest-quality foods you can eat, and they can help you enjoy a higher quality of life!
