Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 large cauliflower cut into florets
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 English cucumber diced
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup kalamata olives

Method
 

  1. Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the cauliflower rice for 5 to 7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and oregano to make the dressing.
  3. Divide the cauliflower rice among four bowls and arrange the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, spinach, olives, feta, and sliced chicken on top.
  4. Drizzle with the prepared dressing just before serving.

Substitutions: Use grilled shrimp or chickpea-free tofu in place of chicken, and swap feta for a dairy-free alternative if needed.
Storage: Store the dressing separately and add just before serving. The cauliflower rice keeps up to 3 days in an airtight container. Layer heavier items at the bottom and greens on top.
Serving: Warm only the cauliflower rice and chicken, keeping the rest cold for the best texture.
