When making vegetables I love incorporating a delicious sauce to go with it. Not only does it give it a pop of flavor but as a mom it is a great way to get my kids to try something new. This creamy salsa verde brussel sprouts and cauliflower dish is just that. Served on top of a bed of quinoa it is a great vegetarian meal as well as a great side dish. There are only a few ingredients in this creamy salsa verde sauce, the main one being La Victoria Brand salsa verde, we chose mild but there are others that are a bit spicier.

- I will say as I’ve gotten older I appreciate vegetables that much more and I do try to incorporate them into each meal I cook for my family so this is a great one to add to our meal plans.
I find that serving them often has created a love of vegetables in my kids and all three would rather have a plate full of them rather than meat for the most part which I think is great!
