Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, warm 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add 2 cups cauliflower rice, ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is slightly tender and heated through. Turn off the heat, drizzle with 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice, and stir to combine.

  2. Step 2.

    While the cauliflower rice cooks, in a medium bowl combine 2 cups cooked black beans, ¼ cup finely diced red onion, 1 thinly sliced red Fresno chili pepper (optional), ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.

  3. Step 3.

    To assemble each bowl, place half of the roughly chopped spinach (about 1 cup total per bowl) in the bottom of each serving bowl. Top with half of the cilantro-lime cauliflower rice, half of the black bean mixture, half of the sliced radish, half of the fresh cilantro leaves, and half of the thinly sliced green onion. Garnish each bowl with a lemon wedge and drizzle with ¼ cup Creamy Herb Dressing.
