Paleo Roasted Cauliflower Mason Jar Salad (Dairy-Free + Vegan-Friendly)
Paleo Roasted Cauliflower Mason Jar Salad - liven up your work-lunch game and meal prep these yummy roasted cauliflower, grilled chicken and yellow honey beet mason jar salads!
Ingredients
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breasts*
- salt
- pepper
- 1 cup romaine lettuce
- 1/4 cup roasted almonds check ingredients if Paleo
- 1 cup cucumber use ribbons or simply dice into bite-sized chunks
- 1 cup Love Beets honey + vinegar golden beets
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- olive oil
- 1 Teaspoon ground cumin
- balsamic dressing I love this one, which is paleo-friendly
- feel free to add avocado too!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Place cauliflower florets in small bowl.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper and cumin.
- Toss to coat.
- Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
- Grill on medium heat for 10-12 minutes, flipping once - internal temp needs to be 165.
- You can also cook your chicken in a cast iron or instant pot - I also batch prep chicken by boiling the whole breast in water for 15-20 minutes or until internal temp of 165 and then shred it to save for salads.
- In your choice of storage container place chicken on the bottom, then almonds, cucumber, beets, romaine and cauliflower.
- Place salad dressing in small storage safe container.
- Bring both to work and either pour into a salad bowl or eat out of your storage container.
- Prep several and they will be fine in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Notes
*feel free to omit chicken if you prefer a vegan salad - chickpeas would be a good substitute and you could roast them with the cauliflower! (note that chickpeas are not considered paleo)
