Sweet Pea Crunch Salad
A crunchy green salad to celebrate the arrival of spring! Serve it with protein if you like, but it's a fresh meal all on its own!
Is a cauliflower steak really a steak? I am so not a steak person. Unless it’s a non-steak steak. Yes, I am aware that I’m a weirdo, especially being a Midwesterner.
Not being a steak person is quite unusual. But if you’ve been following me for a while, it’s probably not a surprise that I am on Team Veggie most of the time.
So, last weekend I was trying to have a little fun with our lunch (read: I made a special trip to the grocery store, then I made a huge mess in the kitchen, and then I took photos, and then we could finally eat. Thank goodness my husband is patient 🙂 )
I love a goddess/buddha/wellness/whathaveyou bowl as much as the next person (see: so many of my past recipes); but it’s nice to depart from the template every once in a while!
I roasted cauliflower steaks after rubbing them with salt, olive oil and turmeric, and served them atop my current favorite kitchen secret weapon: an easy yogurt sauce made in a blender or food processor full of herbs, avocado, jalapeño and more. Dave and I each ate two slices of roasted cauliflower – it was so good! And it was a light lunch that was not light on flavor.
If you are thinking you’d like a little more rib-stickiness to this meal, I’d add a cup of cooked whole grains – barley, quinoa or freekeh would be delish. Trust me, you’ll have enough sauce, if you can stop from eating it with a spoon!

February already! February 15th even! What is even happening this year, with this timeline. January was busy and difficult. Our car was hit, while parked (we weren’t in it), so dealing with that has been a daily routine of calling everyone involved to make sure they are doing their jobs. Coming from the hospitality industry, […]
A citrus-y protein-packed meal that's perfect post-workout fuel. Make it with grapefruit if you don't have blood oranges handy!
