With a variety of eye-popping colors, tongue-tickling contrasting flavors, and a bright, acidic vinaigrette that allows the plant-based main ingredients to shine, this Mediterranean bowl is a stunner. It looks like something you'd see at a restaurant, yet it's so simple to make you won't believe it. Just four simple steps and less than ten minutes, with hardly any cooking! If you're as time-crunched as we are, that's a big win.

The meaty, briny bite of kalamata olives brings out the richness of avocado and the creaminess of the chickpeas, all served over a bed of fluffy "rice". To make this recipe more lifestyle friendly, we substituted cauliflower rice for the usual starch, but the effect of the bowl is the same: a gorgeous, filling meal that has all the plant-based benefits of a salad without actually being a salad.
