Romesco and Roasted Cauliflower Open Sandwich with Limey Avocado Crème Recipe

This is the ideal work lunch to take the day after enjoying my spiced roasted cauliflower recipe if you have any leftovers. J It takes a little prep, but the idea is that you make up the romesco and limey avocado crème to have on hand as needed, and you can also replace the roasted cauli with any leftover roasted vegies, or even a slice of tofu, tempeh or chicken. This way, you will have a number of lunches ready to go with minimal effort.
