Salads & Bowls
If the word “salad” brings the word “boring” to your mind next, I’m gonna go ahead and change that for you right here and now. Below you will find salads and bowls alike that are filled with simple ingredients but loads of flavor. Trust me.
fresh roll bowl with jumbo shrimp
This bowl is exploding with fresh, vibrant veggies over a bed of rice noodles and drizzled with the best Asian Dressing everrrr. It’s kind of like a fresh spring roll unwrapped into a bowl. There is minimal cooking for this dish also… win win!
asian dipping sauce or dressing
Get ready for you new go to Asian dipping sauce that you will want to always have on hand! It hits all the right notes from savory, sweet, salty & spicy (the spice level can be adjusted to your liking) AND It takes close to no time to put together. This is the perfect dressing for bowls, salads, pour over veggies, as a dipping sauce and anything else you can imagine.
the nest tuna pasta salad
There are many versions of Tuna Pasta Salad out there but mine is loaded with a ton of fresh veggies + hard boiled eggs+ sweet pickles + fresh dill & lemon zest! It is the perfect dish to bring to any summer (or spring, fall, or winter) gathering, barbecue, potluck, etc.
cabbage ramen noodle salad
I have ALWAYS loved ramen noodle anything… sorry, can’t help it. So to make this version a little more on the healthy(er) side, I add a ton of veggies and sliced almonds & edamame for some protein gains. Tossed in a delicious, light sweet & salty vinaigrette makes this salad is perfect for any party, picnic, or lunch meal prep!
tomato coconut cauliflower curry
This plant-based dish has it all: creaminess from the coconut milk, sweetness from the potatoes, crunch from the cauliflower and an aroma of curry from the spices. Give this one a try!
sweet potato chickpea buddha bowl
This bowl is filled with all the right colors, textures and flavors. But the real star here, on top of all the veggies, is the Tahini dressing. I could put it on eeerryyythang! You’ll want to make an extra batch just for fun.
pesto quinoa salad bowls
A medley of all things healthy, fresh, herby, lemony, crisp, and savory. Eat it warm with the freshly cooked quinoa and roasted veggies or meal prep for your week and have a cold bowl ready to go!
mediterranean quinoa bowl with roasted red pepper sauce
Looking for a healthy, gluten free lunch option that will tide you over and satisfy the taste buds? Look no further, it has arrived. I love this mix of flavors- savory, salt, fresh and filling. This would also be delicious topped with grilled chicken for more protein or take away the feta to make it dairy free!
