Recipes: cauliflower

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
• 1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed or 2-3 cooked chicken breasts (roasted, sautéed, grilled, etc)
• 1 apple
• ¼ cup dried cranberries
• ¼ chopped almonds
• Balsamic vinaigrette + add optional dash of cayenne pepper
• Sea salt

Instructions:

1. Grate the head of cauliflower on a box grater or similar
2. Remove the center rib of the kale and chop into bite sized pieces
3. Chop the chicken into bite sized pieces
4. Dice the apple
5. Chop almonds
6. Prepare your dressing and add cayenne pepper if desired
7. Place the kale in a large salad bowl and toss or massage with two tablespoons of the balsamic dressing
8. Sautee the grated cauliflower in a large skillet over medium heat, stir frequently for 5 minutes.
9. Add the cauliflower to the kale, add the chicken chunks and toss. Add as much dressing as desired.
