Green Goddess Bowl

I love making simple veggie bowls for dinner - there are so many possibilities to mix up! The formula to my bowls usually consist of grains + heirloom/protein + fresh veg + complementing dressing. For example, my Mexican bowls are filled with brown rice, black beans, avocado, fresh salsa and cilantro. Or an Asian bowl with brown rice, green peas, corn, broccoli and miso ginger dressing.

For my Green Goddess Bowl, I used quinoa, saffron spiced chickpeas, roasted brussel sprouts, cool cucumber, avocado, and a tahini lemon dressing topped with lots of fresh mint. It is sure to make you glow from the inside out.
