Moroccan Chickpea Bowls with Cauliflower Rice

If you’ve been following Loveleaf Co. for a while, you know that we like veggies on veggies around here. Which is why I’m a big fan of cauliflower rice. Made from just one simple ingredient (cauliflower, of course), we like to use it in place of traditional rice from time to time.

Now don’t take this the wrong way – real rice is great too and a perfectly healthy option for most people. But after December (read: the month that cookies and wine ruled my life), cauliflower rice just feels right. The best news? It happens to taste good too. Like a blank canvas, cauliflower rice readily takes on the flavor of whatever you put on it; here, that’s a spiced tahini dressing that I can’t quit. Enjoy!
