Ingredients
- 1 cup wild rice, dry
- 1 head cauliflower, washed and chopped
- 1 head broccoli, washed and chopped
- 1 can (540ml) lentils, rinsed and drained
- 1 beet, roasted and shredded
- 1 carrot, washed, peeled and shredded
- 1 avocado, diced
Apple Tahini Dressing
- 2 tablespoon tahini
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 °F
- Wrap your beet in tinfoil and roast until it's soft and can be pierced by a fork.*
- Wash and chop your cauliflower and broccoli*, then transfer to a baking sheet, toss in olive oil and salt, and roast until done, about 30-40 minutes. Tossing halfway through. Do this while your beet is roasting.
- Meanwhile, cook your 1 cup of wild rice according to the directions on the package.*
- Drain and rinse your lentils, set aside. Also peel and use a box grater to grate the carrot. And dice your avocado. Set everything aside in separate bowls for assembly.
- Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small mason jar. Shake to combine. Taste and adjust to your liking.
- Once the beet, cauliflower, broccoli and wild rice are done cooking, it's time to assemble. Equally divide all the ingredients (minus the dressing) into 4 bowls (or containers if you are meal prepping). Drizzle on some dressing and enjoy!
Notes
BEET: to save time, you a pre-cooked beet, or boil your beet, sometimes that's faster.
VEGETABLES: I love using broccoli and cauliflower, but you can use whatever veggies you like.
GRAINS: I love wild rice, but any type of rice of grain would work.
MEAL PREP: store in airtight containers, and these should last up to 4 days. I like to add the dressing right before eating. Just note, your dressing will be solid once it comes out of the fridge, so give it a fews minutes to turned liquid again.
