Romanesco cauliflower or broccoli romanesco

Have you seen the different varieties of cauliflower?
The typical yellow or white cauliflower,the green cauliflower or even the purple cauliflower?
I am sharing a recipe with you.
"This is a traditional salad from Naples, known as Insalata di Rinforzo, which is typically served at Christmas time. It's lovely and colorful as it uses cauliflower, lime green Romanesco and dark green broccoli and is jazzed up with olives and red pickled peppers. It is served with a lemon-based vinaigrette and sometimes capers."
One can add to the salad ,honey mustard red onions and lime or lemon
Enjoy!

Plants

It seems I keep emphasising the need to eat more plant food.In the Mind diet,
— a combination of the Mediterranean and DASH diets — published online in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association in June 2015 — concluded that people who eat more dark, leafy greens at least once a day have substantially slower cognitive decline with age than those who eat the Standard American Diet (SAD). 
It is always about plants,whether it is heart health,longevity,brain health,plant food comes into play.

How do plants help? Imagine looking at your living room and seeing dust bunnies clustered under cabinets and chairs. It happens to the best of us! We accumulate them just from living. In a similar way, we accumulate free radicals in our brains, just from being out in the world. Here’s where cruciferous vegetables come to our aid! They act like vacuum cleaners, sucking up the free radicals, those trouble-makers! It’s all about taking care of your beautiful brain.
