Mushroom Kale Bowl
Our Mushroom Kale Bowl recipe is an excellent example of how to build the perfect salad. It combines leafy vegetables (kale, basil), cruciferous vegetables (kale), non-starchy vegetables (bean sprouts, beets), whole grains (rice), legumes (tofu), seeds (sunflower seeds), and extras (mushrooms) to create a salad that is both satiating and satisfying. Top it with our oil-free Sesame Ginger Miso Dressing for a health-promoting meal packed with flavor, plus use it as a template to create dozens of other creative mixes that maximize the vitamins and nutrients found in plant-based foods.
