To kick off this sushi lunch, get started by preparing the star of the show, cauliflower rice. You can either make it from scratch or purchase a pre-made frozen bag that can be easily steamed in the microwave.

After you steam your cauliflower rice, let it cool and then top it with three ounces of chopped imitation crab meat, one sliced Persian cucumber, an eighth of an avocado, a quarter-cup of shredded carrots and a half-cup of edamame. Garnish your bowl with one chopped scallion and a dash of sesame seeds. Finally, mix together your dressing by combining one tablespoon of light mayo with a teaspoon of sriracha and drizzle it over your bowl.

The Leaf Pro Tip: Feel free to swap in real crab meat or another seafood of your choice. You can also get creative and pump up the fiber content by adding in more of your favorite non-starchy vegetables. Not sure what qualifies as a non-starchy veggie? Check out our Grocery Guide!
