Ingredients
Bowl:
- 1/4 cup cooked quinoa (or rice, millet, or lentils, etc…)
- 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas ( or black beans, white beans, pinto, etc..)
- 1/2 cup roasted sweet potato (or any root vegetable)
- 2 cups mixed greens
- Assorted veggies
- Handful seeds
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced or crushed (optional)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 pinch sea salt
- Water to thin if needed
- In a small bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy. (This makes lots of extra dressing, so you can save it for later.)
- In a separate large bowl, combine all of the power bowl ingredients.
- It is sometimes fun to arrange them by colour as well.
- Top salad with dressing and toss together.
- Serve cold and enjoy!
