Spring Glow Bowl Recipe
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
For the Bowl:
2 cups greens (arugula, watercress, or baby spinach)
½ cup roasted asparagus, chopped
½ cup thinly sliced radishes
½ cup shredded carrots
½ small avocado, sliced
½ cup roasted purple sweet potatoes (or omit for lower carbs)
1 tbsp pumpkin or hemp seeds (for crunch & minerals)
1 small handful fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or cilantro for extra detox support)
1-2 soft-boiled eggs (or 4-6 oz wild-caught salmon or pasture-raised chicken)
For the Lemon-Tahini Dressing:
3 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp turmeric powder (anti-inflammatory boost)
1 small garlic clove, minced
2-3 tbsp warm water (to thin)
Sea salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the roasted vegetables. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss asparagus and sliced purple sweet potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Cook the eggs. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Add eggs and cook for 7-8 minutes for a jammy yolk. Transfer to an ice bath, peel, and slice in half.
Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients, adding water until it reaches your desired consistency.
Assemble the bowl. Start with a base of fresh greens, then layer on roasted veggies, radishes, shredded carrots, avocado, and soft-boiled eggs (or your protein of choice).
Drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with pumpkin or hemp seeds, and finish with fresh herbs.
Enjoy immediately for a vibrant, nourishing meal!
