Ingredients
  

Rice
  • 1 cup rice
Vegetables & Toppings
  • 1 cup shelled edamame cooked
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella torn into pieces
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • ½ cup sunflower sprouts fresh
Tahini Dressing
  • 1 tsp tahini
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 3 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • ⅓ tsp salt

Equipment

  • 1 Medium saucepan for cooking rice
  • 1 Small bowl for the dressing
  • 1 Small jar with lid to shake the dressing
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 Serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. If using frozen edamame, pour boiling water over the beans for 3–5 minutes, then drain.
  2. Prepare the dressing by combining tahini, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt in a small jar. Close the lid and shake until smooth and creamy.
  3. Place the cooked rice in the bottom of a serving bowl. Arrange the edamame, sliced avocado, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and sunflower sprouts in separate sections.
  4. Drizzle the bowl generously with the homemade tahini dressing just before serving.
  5. Serve immediately without mixing to keep the ingredients fresh and beautifully presented.

Notes

## Recipe Tips
• Use freshly cooked or leftover rice for convenience.
• Frozen shelled edamame works perfectly—simply blanch it in boiling water for a few minutes.
• Assemble the bowl just before serving to keep the vegetables fresh and the avocado vibrant.
• Add grilled chicken, salmon, shrimp, tofu, or chickpeas for extra protein.
• Quinoa or bulgur can easily replace the rice for a different flavor and texture.
• Store the dressing separately and drizzle it over the bowl right before eating.
