What You’ll Need
Though more of a concept than a formal recipe, here are the key elements utilized in my bowls:
– **Spread**: The heart and soul of these bowls, which can be prepared with various spread options. While hummus is my go-to choice (any savory hummus variety works splendidly), other alternatives like bean dip, baba ganoush, lentil dip, ricotta, tzatziki, and labneh are equally suitable.
– **Vegetables**: Including veggies elevates the fiber content and nutrient value of the bowls. You can mix and match any leafy greens and fresh vegetables available. These bowls are incredibly adaptable and can be tailored to suit the seasons, featuring radishes and peas in the spring, carrots, cucumber, and tomatoes in the summer, and roasted squash and beets in the fall and winter.
– **Bread**: The quality of the bread significantly influences the bowls’ taste. Sourdough bread is recommended for its minimal processing and delightful flavor, but you can choose your favorite type.
– **Olive Oil, Salt, and Pepper**: These ingredients are used to dress the vegetables and season the dish.
