You ever see a recipe and you’re like dang… I gotta make that asap? (I sure hope some of my recipes warrant you to say that) Well that’s how these Chickpea + Cauliflower Arugula Yogurt Bowls were created. I saw a recipe from Bon Appétit and immedietly started thinking of how I could adapt it to make it my own with keeping the delcious foundation there. I’d say mission accomplished… big time!
So I think it all started when I had this intense pregnancy craving for this delicious meal. And naturally I didn’t have all the ingredients, but I had enough of the main ingredients to build upon to make this one fantastic meal that not only satisfied my craving, but made this recipe necessary to share with y’all.
SO, this blog worthy Chickpea + Cauliflower Arugula Yogurt Bowl recipe starts with roasted chickpeas and cauliflower seasoned with cumin and coriander atop a lemony yogurt. Their recipe calls for jalapeño and fennel, but I didn’t have those so I decided to take it from there and evolve the recipe into a new one. I added fresh arugula, sliced cucumbers, crispy tofu, and toasted pine nuts. OH.MY.WORD. The perfect amount of cruch and the marriage of such amazing flavors.
I also had just enough ingredients to have this the next day for lunch and I will proudly admit that these Chickpea + Cauliflower Arugula Bowls are great both warm and cold- so basically it’s like two meals in one… #winningatlife. They only take 30 minutes, and require minimal work too. Hope you love these as much as my pregnancy cravings did (and I will for sure be making this post pregnancy). I’d love to see your recreations, be sure to tag me on Instagram and Facebook!
