Honestly, in the last month or so, my eating habits have been out of this world bad (think surviving solely on sugar and Diet Soda), and so I’ve decided that I’m going to have to really kick my own arse from this point on to GET WITH THE FUCKING PROGRAM! So, expect to be seeing more healthy recipes over the next few months…hopefully anyway. Let’s kick this whole thing off with this Vegan Roasted Cauliflower and Brown Rice Salad, shall we?

This time round, this Brown Rice Salad recipe is loaded with Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower, Sweet Potato, Kale, Pomegranate and Lentils to add some goddamn protein into the mix. Everything is then topped off with a delicious Tahini Garlic Dressing which you can make with ingredients you already have in your pantry. Ain’t nobody got time to go out and buy fancy schmancy ingredients.

Gluten Free, Fuss Free, YUM! #brownrice #lentil #salad #veganrecipes #simplerecipes #cauliflower #turmeric #roasted #sweetpotato #kale #deliciousEverything comes together real easy in this Vegan Roasted Cauliflower and Brown Rice Salad recipe. Whilst the rice is cooking, you’ll be roasting your Sweet Potato and Cauliflower, and then right before assembling, you’ll want to wilt your Kale down in a touch of Olive Oil to soften the little buggers up. I use tinned Lentils to keep things easy, but feel free to cook your own up if you are that kind of person. That kind of person being someone who isn’t a lazy shit like me.

Tahini, Apple Cider Vinegar, Maple Syrup, Garlic, Nooch, Warm Water, bish bash bosh, there you have it. You can drench the Black Rice Salad in it and mix it all up, or mix half of it in and drizzle the rest on top like I have. Do whatever you want, okay? You have free will, don’t listen to rules, don’t let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do. As always, don’t forget to leave a comment or tag me on Instagram if you make this (or any other) recipe, I always love seeing what you guys get up to!

        First of all I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I've had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Many thanks!
