Vegetarian Bowl Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Cook the rice

   In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 40 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

2. 2

   Prepare the vegetables

   While the rice is cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, sliced zucchini, and corn. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender, then add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Make the avocado dressing

   In a blender, combine the avocado, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a little water to reach the desired consistency.

4. 4

   Combine the ingredients

   In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice, black beans, and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with the avocado dressing and toss gently to combine.

5. 5

   Garnish and serve

   Top the bowl with chopped fresh cilantro and additional lime juice if desired. Serve warm.
