  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice

  • 4 oz grilled lamb (or chicken, if preferred)

  • 1/4 cucumber, sliced

  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 tbsp Kalamata olives, pitted

  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp tzatziki sauce

  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional for grilling)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Grill the Lamb: Season the lamb with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Grill on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness. Slice the grilled lamb into strips.

  3. Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the cauliflower rice at the base. Top with grilled lamb, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and red onion.

  4. Add Tzatziki: Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over the top and garnish with extra herbs or lemon wedges if desired.

  5. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute grilled lamb with grilled chicken, beef, or a plant-based protein like tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian option.

  • Feel free to add more Mediterranean ingredients like feta cheese, roasted red peppers, or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
