Fennel Caulikin Salad.

Fennel and Pumpkin Seeds are great for digestion and can ease the gassier effects of cauliflower. Digestion is at its low point for the year during the heat of summer, and this combo helps stabilize blood sugar (pumpkin seeds) as well as making the cauliflower more digestible. For added sweetness and texture, garnish with a sprinkle of fennel seeds. Bonus if you garnish with edible petals from your garden :)

Ingredients (serves 6)

4 cups chopped cauliflower

1 tsp coriander seed

2 cups chopped fennel bulb

1 cup pumpkin seeds

Water to steam

Steps:

Toast pumpkin seeds (try baking sheet in the oven at 350 for 5 or more minutes)

Steam all the other ingredients together very lightly. Should still have a little crunch :)

Serve garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds

Enjoy! Flavors/Qualities: Bitter, light, dry.
