• 1 avacado

• Half a small red onion (diced)

• 3 tablespoons of cliantro

• 1 cup of black beans

• 1 cup of corn

Raw “Rice”

• 2 cups of cauliflower

• 3 tablespoons of olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

Raw Walnut Taco “Meat” 

• 1 cup of raw walnuts (soaked for 2 to 4 hours)

• 2 teaspoons of tamari or gluten-free soy sauce

Raw Macadamia Cream Dressing

Step-by-step

Place your kale into a large bowl.

In a food processor, add your cauliflower, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix for a couple of seconds until the cauliflower is in rice-size pieces. Transfer your “rice” into another bowl.

Wash your processor and then add your soaked walnuts, tamari, olive oil, curry, chili, garlic, onion, cayanne and salt into it. Mix until you get a taco meat looking consistancy.

Add your califlower rice over top of the kale in your large bowl. In sections (as shown in the photos above and below), add your tomato, onion, avacado, corn, black beans and taco meat. Sprinle your cilantro all over other ingredients.

In a blender, mix your macadamia nuts, water, garlic and salt until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistancy.

Drizzle your macadamia dressing on top. Chop your lime into four and place on the size of your dish.

Now all that is left is to find someone to share this delicious glow bowl with…or not. You can always eat it all to yourself.
