Want a quick, simple meal that’s also crazy delicious?!
Try this Sweet and Savory Grain Bowl!
More specifically, it’s made with Brown Rice, juicy Mangos, Golden Raisins, Pistachios, Red Onion, Green Onions, Tomatoes, Pickled Jalapeños and my Homemade Dressing consisting of Tamari, Peanut Oil, Peanut Butter and fresh Garlic. SO YUMMY!
If you make the rice ahead of time, this meal only takes a couple minutes to throw together! I like to make this when I’m prepping my meals for the week. Makes life so much easier!
You can switch up the grain and the veggies, although, I highly recommend this mix! I like to use brown rice because it has more overall nutrition than white rice.
The veggies I use are so flavorful and complimentary to each other and they add a lot of great texture!
