A truly delicious Fall Nourish Bowl with Curried cauliflower, lentils, brown rice, greens and a refreshing Carrot Slaw topped with Turmeric dressing. VEGAN & Gluten-free.
I’m pretty in love with this Fall Nourish Bowl! It’s filled with so many good things- curried roasted cauliflower, lentils, Tuscan kale, and brown rice, then topped with crunchy Carrot Slaw. So tasty!!!
A light, flavorful Turmeric Dressing is spooned over top. Soothing and nurturing, this wholesome vegan and gluten-free bowl is a kind gift to give our bodies after all the holiday feasting.
This recipe makes 2 extra hearty bowls.
Cut ½ a cauliflower into florets. Toss with olive oil, curry powder and salt. Roast 30 minutes.
At the same time cook the lentils and the rice.
I just discovered this 15-minute Organic Basmati Rice at Trader Joes, for those short on time.
Truthfully, I like it, but not quite as much as regular Brown rice…but great if you are in a hurry!
Grate carrots or purchase matchstick carrots and toss with cilantro and scallions.
Assemble the bowls and top with crunchy Carrot Slaw.
Spoon the Turmeric Vinaigrette over top.
MMMMMMMMM!
So healthy, so flavorful, so nourishing!

I hope you are having the BEST week.

Now I need to get some brown rice!!! Mmmm
Do it!
I was not expecting a lot from this recipe, since it looked so healthy. But it was GREAT! Exactly what I needed after a lot of weekend junk food. I skipped the lentils and roasted some chickpeas with the cauliflower instead. Super easy, healthy, flavorful, satisfying, refreshing, and cleansing. Will definitely make regularly!

I’m glad you were pleasantly surprised Kirstyn!
I was apprehensive on how my family would take this–they eat vegetarian because I cook it, but don’t hesitate to eat meat. 3 out of four of us enjoyed this meal, one is veryyyy picky. I have to practice my lentil cooking, my local lentils don’t come with instructions. Also, I had to quadruple the dressing for everyone because we are apparently heavy-handed with it. Overall, we enjoyed it and will make it again!
★★★★★
Excellent! Packed with flavor. I never cook but I was so tempted to make this. Added Arugula which complimented it. Turned out great! Thank you!!
★★★★★
I love that your bowl recipes make it easy to put dinner together after a long day at work. This was simple – I didn’t have quite the delicate carrot shreds, but it tasted great still and felt like I was making good choices on a day that I day dreamed of french fries multiple times.
★★★★★
Haha! Love it, thanks for sharing!
This was very good! Will definitely make this again.

Thanks so much Leni, appreciate it!
Like Bibimbap, but for Indian food! We are trying to be more vegetarian because we are not getting any younger and this dish doesn’t make me feel like something is missing. This dish was a huge hit and will be a regular weekly meal! Thank you and looking forward to trying more recipes.

Great to hear Shar and thanks for the rating!
First time my husband asked to repeat a meatless Monday recipe. Love the flavors and textures. I’ll be making this one on a regular basis.
★★★★★
AWESOME! Great to hear, thanks for sharing!
The perfect cozy and nutritious meal for those chilly fall days when your body needs a little help fighting off a seasonal cold! Usually with bowls I swap out certain things for other things I like more, but not with this bowl! It has all the prefect ingredients! Yum x100!

This is an old recipe but someone shared it with me and it looks great, but Im wondering what you used to shred those carrots?
I used a mandolin attachment.
How did you grate the carrots to be so long and thin? Thanks!!
I used a veggie peeler!
So yummy
Respecting the time and exertion you put into your site and nitty gritty data you offer.

Hi Sylvia! What are the greens? Thanks!!!
Kale, spinach or arugula!
I just discovered this recipe recently and have made it several times. Sometimes I replace the lentils with quinoa for my son who prefers it over lentils. We both love it and it has made us fans of nourish bowl eating! Thank you for sharing 🙂
