🥣 Core Ingredients

1 cup cooked whole grains (quinoa, brown rice, farro, or bulgur)
1 cup fresh mixed greens (spinach, arugula, kale)
1/2 cup roasted or steamed vegetables (sweet potatoes, broccoli, carrots)
1/2 cup protein of choice (grilled chicken, chickpeas, tofu, or boiled eggs)
1/4 cup sliced avocado
2 tablespoons nuts or seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds)
Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or basil) for garnish

Dressing:

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation

Step 1: Cook the Base Grain

Rinse 1 cup of your chosen grain under cold water.
Cook according to package instructions. Typically, quinoa takes about 15 minutes, while brown rice or farro takes longer.
Once cooked, fluff with a fork and allow to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

While the grain cooks, chop and roast or steam your vegetables:
- For roasting: Toss vegetables like sweet potatoes or carrots in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until tender.
- For steaming: Steam broccoli or other veggies until bright and tender-crisp.
Wash and dry your mixed greens.
