Whole Roasted Blackened Cauliflower Platter

This was a super tasty "appetizer" at a very fun fully #veganrestaurant in #southcarolina. I put #appetizer in quotes because this dish is HUGE and pricey at $22. It is a lot of food and definitely needs to be shared! First, this restaurant focuses on #locallysourced, #organic, and #fresh food which I feel they accomplish with this dish. It also has a full cocktail bar and a fun atmosphere. The dish was plated beautifully and is almost #tooprettytoeat. The flavors are all amazing; from the #beetroothummus, #cashew #tzatziki, #feta, and #lemon #tahini, it has a lot going on. It was also topped with #pomegranate and #crispy #chickpeas which gave it a nice varied texture. My only complaint is that the #cauliflower is so huge that it kind of diluted the flavors with each bite. I also wish there were more pomegranate seeds because that gave it a nice brightness to the flavor which was delightful. Regardless, this was a tasty and unique dish made from #realfood, and I would highly recommend. The za'atar spiced #pita on the side was also delightful and so flavorful.

Neon Tiger is a fully vegan spot in downtown CHS. I took my Omni brother there for dinner but didn’t tell him the food was vegan and he LOVED his meal and had no idea his fettuccini Alfredo and grilled chicken were actually vegan until he devoured it and I told him! I’m personally not into burgers and wasn’t feeling pizza this day so I chose the roasted cauliflower appetizer as my meal and it was INCREDIBLE! I received a huge plate with a whole roasted cauliflower served overtop vibrant beet hummus and herby tzatziki. The dish was topped with tahini, crispy seasoned chickpeas, vegan feta, pomegranate seeds, and mint. It was served alongside crispy za’atar seasoned pita chips, to scoop up all that goodness! This dish was so incredibly full of flavor, texture, and nutrition! It’s great as a personal meal or to share as a starter with a group. I had a bit left afterwards, which I compiled into a meal the next day (last pic). I would love to try out their pizzas and salads some time, but I’d honestly return just to enjoy this fantastic dish again! #fullyveganrestaurant #cauliflower
