DifficultyBeginner
Yields4 Servings
 2 cups cooked grains (brown rice, quinoa, etc - you may only need 1/2-1 cup of dry grain to make 2 cups of cooked)
 veggies of choice (could be fresh veggies like cucumbers, radishes, carrots; or cooked veggies like roasted sweet potatoes, braised asparagus, etc.)
 fruit of choice
 avocado, sliced or cubed
 greens of choice (lettuce, spinach, Mesclun greens, kale)
 nuts of choice
 seeds of choice
 dried frut of choice
 protein of choice
 Salt and Pepper to taste
 dressing of choice. Brown butter is a good option to substitute in for the regular dressing
 runny fried egg for visual effect and additional protein
1

Pre-dress your greens with a bit of the dressing. Pour the dressing into a bowl and place the greens on top (do not pour directly on them as it will wilt them.) Gently toss the greens with your clean hands. Ensure each leaf is coated well but not swimming in the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Place in a section of a large plate/bowl.

If using red or white onions, slice them thinly, put in a small bowl and cover with cold water for at least 10 minutes. This will take away their pungency, while keeping all of their crunch intact.

Place the rest of the ingredients you are using into the bowl in sections. Place the dressing or brown butter in a small container, so that each diner can mix all of the ingredients themselves and control how much dressing they use. Serve!
