Ingredients

Organic Cauliflower: Instead of chicken, we’ll be using cauliflower! Fresh or frozen both work!
Organic Chickpeas: Chickpeas are loaded with protein and are a great source of fiber.
Organic Red Cabbage: For some extra vibrancy and vitamins.
Organic Bell Peppers: I used red and green, but any color combo will work!
Organic Greens: For the base! Spinach, arugula, kale, or any greens that you have on hand will pair deliciously!
Organic Avocado: For some healthy fats and creaminess.
Organic Seasonings: We’ll be coating the cauliflower florets with chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper.

How To Make

Marinate Cauliflower. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients, then add the cauliflower to the bowl and combine until coated. Let sit for 15 minutes.

Assemble. Divide the greens and veggies between bowls. Top the cauliflower, bell peppers, chickpeas and the avocado. Enjoy!
