Helpful Tips
- For a protein boost, add grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to the bowl.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the dressing.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the vegetables may soften slightly over time.
