Packed with fresh veggies, protein, and a zesty dressing, it’s low-carb, gluten-free, and totally satisfying. Customize it with your favorite toppings or keep it simple—either way, it’s a winner.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups cauliflower rice (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas (or any preferred protein: grilled chicken, tofu, etc.)

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cup cucumber, diced

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: hummus, tahini sauce, or Greek yogurt for topping


Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Add cauliflower rice and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • In serving bowls, layer the cooked cauliflower rice as the base.

  • Top with chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and red onion.

  • Drizzle lemon juice over everything and sprinkle with fresh herbs.

  • Add a dollop of hummus or a drizzle of tahini sauce, if desired.

 

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!


Notes

  • You can use frozen cauliflower rice; just sauté a bit longer until fully cooked.

  • Swap chickpeas for grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp for extra protein.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days—best enjoyed fresh!
