Ingredients

• 1 large cauliflower head
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Remove the leaves from the base of the cauliflower head. Carefully cut the cauliflower lengthwise through the core into 1-inch-thick slices to make 'steaks'. You should get about 4 steaks from one head, with some florets leftover.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4

Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with the olive oil mixture, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Place the cauliflower steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, until tender and charred in spots.

Step 6

While the cauliflower is grilling, prepare the lemon herb vinaigrette. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, chopped basil, honey, and Dijon mustard.

Step 7

Once the cauliflower steaks are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter.

Step 8

Drizzle the cauliflower steaks with the lemon herb vinaigrette just before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with additional parsley or basil, if desired, and enjoy your healthy, low sodium meal!
