Zesty Pork Bowls

A warm mixture of lemon-garlic ground pork and riced cauliflower infused with fresh herbs is the base for these colorful bowls. A topping of cool and crunchy vegetables—tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and scallions (plus a drizzle of creamy WHOLE30 Ranch) provides a delicious contrast in texture and temperature.
