Roasted Cauliflower with Lime Dressing

Roasted Cauliflower with Lime Dressing offers tender, caramelized cauliflower florets brightened by a tangy lime dressing enriched with grated garlic, mustard, mayonnaise, and fresh tarragon. The roasting process softens and browns the cauliflower, while the zing of lime and herbal notes from tarragon provide a refreshing contrast. It can be served warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish or light vegetarian option.
