Ingredients


1 1/4 cup Brown rice, medium-grain, dry (cooked and cooled; or 2 1/2 cup cooked)
1/3 cup Tahini (for dressing)
1/3 cup Water (for dressing)
1/4 cup Lemon juice (for dressing)
1 clove(s) Garlic (crushed, for dressing)
1/2 tsp Cumin (for dressing)
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (for dressing)
1 pinch Sea Salt (for dressing)
1 can (15oz) Chickpeas, canned, drained (rinsed)
2 beet(s) Beets, raw (washed and peeled)
2 medium Zucchini (washed)
3 medium Carrots (washed and peeled)
1 small head Red cabbage (wilted leaves removed, quartered, and core removed)
1 bag(s) Baby spinach (or greens of choice)
1 avocado(s) Avocado (sliced)
1/2 bunch Green onion (sliced)
1/2 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

Instructions


  1. Prepare rice as per package directions. Allow to cool before preparing the bowls.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. Place the tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, and sea salt in a food processor or blender and purée until smooth. If you don't have a blender, mince the garlic, then whisk the ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use.
  3. Use a food processor or large-holed cheese grater to shred the beets, zucchini, and carrots. Shred the cabbage using a food processor, or slice thinly with a knife. Combine the shredded veggies in a large bowl.
  4. To build the bowls, place cooked rice in a single-serving bowl along with chickpeas. Add a handful of baby spinach and the shredded vegetable mixture. Top with a few slices of avocado and green onion and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.
  5. Finally, drizzle the lemon tahini dressing liberally over the bowl and enjoy.
