Ingredients
  

Roasted Cauliflower

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp curry powder

Salad Foundation

Marinated Chickpeas and veggies

  • ¼ tsp Trader Joe's Chili Lime Seasoning Blend
  • tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp Lime zest
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Agave
  • 3 tbsp Diced red onion
  • 1 jar Fire-roasted bell peppers, drained
  • 1 jar Fire-roasted artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1 can Chickpeas/garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions
 

Preparing the roasted cauliflower

  • Set the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • Cut the cauliflower into florets and place in a bowl. Drizzle olive oil and curry powder over it, then mix it all up until the cauliflower is evenly coated with curry.
  • Roast the cauliflower for 20 minutes until the edges are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Let it cool for five minutes.

Laying the foundation of the Macro Bowl

  • Scoop a spoonful of your favorite hummus onto the bottom of each bowl.
  • Once the roasted cauliflower has cooled, place it on top of the scoop of hummus, and then apply ⅓ of the arugula package on top, and place ½ of an avocado (cut into cubes) on top of that.
  • Sprinkle everything with Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel seasoning blend.
  • Organize the following into little clusters on top of the arugula: ½ of an avocado that is cut into cubes, the fire-roasted artichokes, and bell peppers.

Preparing the marinated chickpeas

  • Combine all of the ingredients listed under the marinated chickpeas & veggies ingredient list into the same dish or container. This will be the dressing of the salad. (Because I like to make this ahead of time for lunches at work, I keep the marinated chickpeas & veggies separate from the salad foundation until I am ready to eat it, otherwise, the arugula would get soggy).
