Yummy Veggie Bowl
**
What you need:
All your favorite veggies
I like to use:
Broccoli
1 Cauliflower
Bell peppers
1/2 cup of fat-free sour cream
Eggplant
Mushrooms
Butternut squash
Onions
Sugar snap peas
Protein of your choice (like lentils or some nice grilled chicken cubes)
How to prepare it:
-
If you’re using a protein base, cut that into small pieces and put in the bottom of a large bowl. If no protein, skip to step 2
-
Cut veggies into cubes or slices (this is easiest to do in a food processor, but can also be done by hand)
-
Put veggie cube/slices into bowl
-
If you are adding lentils, sprinkle those on top
-
Cover bowl with wax paper, microwave on high for 7 minutes
-
Once dish comes out of microwave, mix in your desired sauce or dip. I like to put in hummus of some sort and a bit of corn and chile tomato-less salsa.
-
Enjoy.
