Cauliflower Kale Chicken Bowl
By Gina Caputo
This bowl hits all the marks of being satisfying, healthy, easy, delicious and even gluten-free. Cauliflower rice is sautéed in coconut oil and combined with massaged kale for a strong veggie base. Add rotisserie chicken (or leave it off for a vegan version!) for a protein boost and then add the party of apples, cranberries and almonds. I added some cayenne-spiked date syrup to my usual balsamic dressing for this one but that may be hard to find. Consider adding a dash or two of cayenne powder to your dressing for a similar effect!
Ingredients:
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 bunch of kale

- Place the kale in a large salad bowl and toss or massage with two tablespoons of the balsamic dressing
- Sautee the grated cauliflower in a large skillet over medium heat, stir frequently for 5 minutes.
