Ingredients
Serves 2
¼ of a large cauliflower broken into small florets

To serve, evenly distribute the cauliflower and Brussel sprout mix between two bowls. Then add to each bowl 1 tablespoon of grated beetroot, one tablespoon of kimchi, one tablespoon of alfalfa, 1 tablespoon of activated almonds and a quarter of the avocado each. Drizzle generously with the hemp seed ranch dressing. Season to taste with good quality salt and pepper if desired.
