Another great recipe I'm making for Christmas dinner! Love the flavor of the red pepper, cumin and then a hint of sweetness from the honey. I doubled everything but the sour cream as I did not want to much sauce on the veggies. I also used baby carrots sliced on the diagonal. I thought with the small cauliflower florets in this recipe needed baby carrots (elements of design) to go along with them. You know how big around some of the long carrots can get! Thanks Rita, love this one!!

Wow, I really loved the creamy spicy dressing on these vegetables! I scraped the bowl clean with a spoon and tried it on its own - perfect. I blanched the veggies together for about 3 minutes and didn't make any changes except I used 2% Greek yogurt for the low-fat sour cream and Splenda for the sugar. I'd make this dressing for pita sandwiches too! It was sooo good!
