Ingredients

Dressing

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 pinch fresh ground pepper
  • 1 pinch garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried parsley

Salad

  • 3 cups kale chopped
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 2 cups orzo cooked
  • 1 head cauliflower roasted with olive oil + turmeric
  • 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup vegan feta
  • 3 tbsp pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉. Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Chop and lay cauliflower on baking sheet. Season cauliflower with olive oil and turmeric, salt, and pepper (about 1 tsp). Toss well.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until fork tender and golden.
  • Mix all of the dressing ingredients in the bottom of the bowl.
  • Cook the orzo according to the package.
  • Chop the rest of the veggies (kale, tomatoes, and onion).
  • Add the veggies, orzo, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, feta, and cauliflower to the bowl with the dressing in it.
  • Mix and enjoy!
  • Serving size: 2 cups

Notes

  • By making the dressing first in the bottom of the bowl, you are saving the need to wash another dish!
  • Allow the cauliflower and orzo time to cool before adding into the salad.
  • If you do not prefer the stems of the kale, wash and peel apart the leafy part from the stem of the kale before chopping.
