Glory Bowl

This has got to be one of the simplest and most delicious bowls ever; the dressing is amazing and addictive. It is from Shelley Adam's Whitewater Cooks: Pure, Simple and Real. Françoise and I make this bowl, or variants with the same dressing, often.

As with many bowls, I would double the dressing relative to the bowl. You will definitely use it, either immediately or later.

Recipe

Serves 8

The Bowl

8 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups beets, grated
2 cups carrots, grated
2 cups almonds, toasted
2 cups spinach leaves
2 cups tofu, cubed

Glory Bowl Dressing

1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes*
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 tbsp tahini paste

Prepare your favourite brown rice and set aside.

Saute tofu cubes in a skillet.

Combine nutritional yeast flakes, water, tamari or soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, tahini and crushed garlic in blender to prepare the dressing.

Add oil in a steady stream. You will have leftover dressing to use again.

Assemble the bowls by placing cooked brown rice into 8 bowls, top with beets, carrots, spinach leaves, almonds and sauteed tofu cubes.

Drizzle bowls with dressing.

So good on any kind of salad greens, spinach, rice, or grains.
