1. Purple cauliflower
The proliferation of cauliflower on menus has some chefs seeing purple. Like traditional cauliflower, the mild vegetable pairs with easily with many ingredients, and its color may appeal to guests who want to try a new take on a trend. Blue Cow Kitchen in Los Angeles offers grilled purple cauliflower as an appetizer, while Ohana Grill in New Jersey served a purple cauliflower and Gruyere soup as part of its restaurant week menu.
