This dish features tender steamed cauliflower florets bathed in a sharp cheddar and Greek yogurt sauce, accented with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a savory depth.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups Cauliflower Florets (200g)
1/2 cup grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese (56g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (120g)
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (5g)
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat a steamer or a pot with a steamer basket over medium heat. Add a little water and bring to a simmer.
Add the cauliflower florets and steam for about 8-10 minutes until they are tender but still hold some bite.
While the cauliflower is steaming, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine the grated sharp cheddar cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt. Stir continuously until the cheese starts to melt and the mixture becomes smooth. Avoid overheating to prevent the yogurt from curdling.
Remove the cheese-yogurt sauce from heat and mix in the nutritional yeast. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper.
Place the steamed cauliflower in a bowl and drizzle the warm sauce over. Gently toss to coat all the florets evenly.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying this protein-packed, creamy twist on traditional mac.
