Cruciferous California Tacos

 

The Cruciferous California is a taco-like tribute to seasonal brassicas like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Shaved vegetables, creamy carrot-miso hummus, and a swoosh of yogurt provide layers of flavor and texture. It’s a nicely-balanced snack or meal packed with healthy fats, protein and plenty of greens!
