Easy Substitutions
We realize that you may not always have the time to cook meals from scratch, and that a quick and easy substitution may be needed. We always recommend cooking the real thing, but in a pinch you can try this instead:
Buy a bag of frozen cauliflower. Warm and combine with drained can of chickpeas. Toss with cucumber, parsley and organic herb dijon dressing. Serve with lemon wedge and capers for bolder pop of flavor. Enjoy!
