Instructions

  1. Wash and prep ingredients: rinse all fresh produce under cold water, pat dry, chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces, keep herbs whole or roughly chopped.
  2. Cook grains and proteins: rinse quinoa or brown rice; cook quinoa about 15 minutes, brown rice about 40 minutes; drain and rinse chickpeas or press tofu to remove moisture.
  3. Prepare dressings and sauces: blend ripe avocado, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, olive oil, salt, and a splash of water or plant milk until smooth; adjust seasoning; optionally add apple cider vinegar or smoked paprika.
  4. Assemble salads or bowls: layer cooked grains, fresh vegetables, and proteins in large bowls; drizzle with dressing and toss gently; adjust salt or acidity as needed.
  5. Optional roasting: roast vegetables like sweet potatoes or Brussels sprouts at 400°F (200°C) with olive oil and seasoning for 15-20 minutes until caramelized and tender; add to bowls.
  6. Final garnishes and serving: sprinkle hemp seeds, chopped nuts, or fresh herbs on top; serve immediately or chill for later.

Notes

Add water one tablespoon at a time if dressing is too thick. Press tofu overnight for better texture. Toast seeds and nuts lightly before adding for enhanced flavor. Cook grains and roast vegetables simultaneously to save time. Avoid over-seasoning to preserve natural flavors.
