Chef Chuck's Fried Cauliflower

Crunchy Goodness !!

I can smell the florets from here!!

I was thinking of a vegetable this time and the florets came to mind.
This fried cauliflower has been in my family a long time. Cauliflower makes a great appetizer or side dish. It is high in fiber and vitamin c. If you are a fan of this vegetable, I am sure this will make your taste buds dance! The only changes that I made was my new creation, Parmigiano Dip!!
This dip will indubitably stand out with flavors that pop. The softness of the mayo and sour cream, pairs up great with the mellowness of the shallots. Let's not forget the sharpness of Parmigiano Reggiano, plus the zing of the lemon, topped with flat leaf parsley. Please enjoy!
