Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Total Time: 10 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE Bowls
Store-bought 90-second microwave jasmine rice (I find one pouch is enough for two bowls)
Colorful carrot ribbons (use a peeler on a long carrot to make the strips), diced cucumber, avocado or sweet potato, something green (like pea shoots from the farmer’s market, depicted on my latest Instagram Reel!) or fresh herbs like basil or parsley 🌿 ) … if you’re feeling spicy, try adding a sliced radish for extra crunch and sweet pepper taste!
For protein, you can add chicken, salmon, chickpeas or a soft boiled egg
Finish with a drizzle of tahini or olive oil (I keep local 30A olive oil it in a squeeze bottle nearby - store-bought is fine!), salt, and a squeeze of lemon to add brightness and keep the avocado or apple slices fresh (especially if you plan to make ahead to take on the go!)
The options are endless! Try swapping tahini dressing for hummus (recipe here)! … As always, please let me know if you have questions! Kitchen encouragement is my favorite pastime! Don’t forget to give yourself grace on your first try. Practice makes everything better with time. You’ve got this!!
Bon appétit!
