I discovered this gorgeous and delicious recipe on Instagram from food blogger, Kruti Shah, who is a health & wellness food stylist, creating real food recipes using all fresh and local produce from a company  Southern California called Milk and Eggs. Unfortunately the company only delivers to customers in the  Orange County, California Area, but just think what you might be able to find in your local markets. Eat fresh and buy local!

The directions are simple and a listed here below:

Kruti uses organic Butter lettuce topped with ghee-sautéed mushrooms, florets of purple cauliflower, sliced avocado, cilantro and smoked jalapeño sauerkraut.

The smoked jalapeño kraut is available on-line at Farmhouse Culture.

This organic kraut serves as a spicy way to keep your gut healthy and awaken the palate. Farmhouse Cultures, Smoked Jalapeno Kraut blends oak-smoked jalapenos with cabbage, carrots, onions, and radish for a taste that’s packed with earthy bold heat.

Also, check out their site for other products that are organic and gluten free. You will not be disappointed.
