For this lunch bowl we flavor roasted cauliflower with our favorite Israeli shawarma blend, toss chickpeas with za’atar and put everything over a basic tabbouleh.
Warning: this recipe is very lemony, we love the tang with the shawarma spice, but if you can cut the amount of lemon in half if you prefer.
