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 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast*
- ¼ cup roasted almonds check ingredients if Paleo
- 1 cup cucumber use ribbons or simply dice into bite-sized chunks
- 1 cup honey + vinegar golden beets
- 1 cup romaine lettuce
- balsamic dressing
- avocado diced (optional)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Roast Cauliflower: Place 1 cup cauliflower florets on the parchment-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon ground cumin and a generous sprinkling of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Toss to coat and bake for 10 minutes.
- Prep Grill: Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat (450-500℉) and clean the grill grates.
- Grill Chicken: Season 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast* with salt and pepper. Grill on medium heat for 10-12 minutes, flipping once - internal temp needs to be 165℉. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes and shred.
- Build Salads: In your choice of storage container place chicken on the bottom, then almonds, cucumbers, beets, romaine lettuce and the roasted cauliflower.
Notes
- Grilled Chicken: You can also cook chicken in a cast iron skillet 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 degrees F and then shred it to save for salads.
- Vegan*: 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)
