Post-Workout Pistachio Peach Cauliflower Salad (3 of 3)

by Nutritional Chef Julie Magnussen; Team Betty Rocker Resident Nutritionist and Certified Health Coach

summer salad1 squareRiding high on endorphins is how I like to feel when I put together a salad.

Feeling this wave of delight encourages me to flood my system with carbs, protein, and antioxidants for the most effective recovery.

The orange and peach provide fast-acting carbs, hemp seeds provide protein, and the remaining ingredients provide a plethora of antioxidants.

The ghee, hemp seeds, and pistachios provide just enough fat to assist fat-soluble vitamins to absorb without inundating your system with too much fat post-workout.

Fresh basil makes this salad perfect for a summer cool-down but it can also be substituted for fresh mint! Make the cauliflower rice ahead of time for a quick assembly.

Check out the Healthy Salad-Building Guide for tips to put together the most nourishing salads for any occasion!

Post-Workout Pistachio Peach Cauliflower Salad

Post-Workout Pistachio Peach Cauliflower Salad
Yield: 1-2 servings

DSC_0004Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower, florets chopped off (discard the stems)
  • 1 T ghee
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 orange, zested and juiced
  • 4 peaches, sliced
  • 10-12 large basil leaves, chiffonade (or torn)
  • 1 T hemp seeds
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • dash of cinnamon (a little goes a long way)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios

Directions

  1. Make the cauliflower rice in the food processor by pulsing 10-12 times until you achieve small grain-like texture. Be careful not to pulse too much or it will loose it’s texture and become mushy.
  2. Place the cauliflower rice in a medium-high heat pan along with the ghee, garlic powder, and sea salt.
  3. Stir occasionally for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  4. In a mixing bowl, place the cooled cauliflower rice, the orange juice and zest, sliced peaches, basil leaves, hemp seeds, black pepper, and cinnamon and toss until well-combined.
  5. Garnish with chopped pistachios.

Does this sound amazing or what? I can't wait to hear how you like this - be sure to let me know too if you make any adaptations to the recipe, I love new ideas!

This is a salad I might also add some chicken or fish to as well to boost the protein content - and I think it would be delicious.

SOME AWESOME PRAISE…

  • Your body will be around a lot longer than that expensive handbag.

    Invest in Yourself.

  • The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg.

    It's not about the circumstances, but rather what you're made of.

  • It doesn't matter what others are doing.

    It matters what YOU are doing.

  • It is not happy people who are thankful.

    It is thankful people who are happy.

  • Marry someone who can cook. Looks fade.

    Hunger doesn't.

  • Excuses will always be there for you.

    Opportunity won't.

  • You've always been beautiful. Now you're just deciding to be healthier, fitter, stronger, faster.

    Remember that.

  • Healthy is not a weight. It is not a diet.

    It is not eating clean 7 days a week and it is not exercising 7 days a week. and most of all, it's not the same for everyone.

  • If you continuously compete with others, you become BITTER.

    But if you continuously compete with yourself, you become BETTER.

  • Be with someone who makes you happy.
