Recipe
Summer Feast Bowl
Portion: 1
Ingredients:
- 1-2 cups cooked rice (I use a mix of brown basmati and wild rice to keep it light)
- 1 cup mixed berries & cherries; raspberries, blackberries, cherries
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 stone fruit; peach, nectarine
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/3 cup chickpeas
- 1-2 cups mixed salad greens; pea shoots, rocket
- 1 tbsp seeds
Basil Pesto:
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
- 1/2 lemon, juiced (1 tbsp)
- Pinch of unrefined salt & black pepper
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp oil (avocado, virgin olive oil)
- 1 cup fresh basil
Instructions:
- I had some pre-made rice (a mix of brown basmati and wild rice). Cook your rice per packet instructions.
.
- In a blender, add your pesto ingredients and blitz. If you don’t have a blender, you can chop your walnuts and basil finely and mix. To toast your walnuts, place them in a dry frying pan and stir for a few minutes on medium heat.
.
- Slice your stone fruit and avocado, and halve your cherry tomatoes if you wish.
.
- Once cooked, add your rice to a bowl. Place the greens on top, followed by your berries, cherries, tomatoes, stone fruit, avocado and chickpeas.
.
- Spoon over your pesto and sprinkle your seeds on top (these are nice toasted).
