¾ c. grain
½ c. protein
1 c. greens
1 c. assorted veggies
¼ c. nuts
1-2 T. whatever flavor punch/es you choose
2 T. dressing or sauce
To decide which ingredients to use, just consider what you like and which flavors seem like they would compliment each other. For example, if you decided to make a Thai-inspired bowl, you might use rice, spicy tofu, peppers, cucumber, carrots and peanut sauce. A BBQ bowl might feature millet, BBQ flavored tempeh, baked beans, corn, collards, cabbage, and BBQ sauce.
Prep the ingredients and set them out like a salad bar, or put them all on the table and people can take what they want. Bask in their delight—and yours!
