Instructions

  1. Cook the brown rice. Use the Instant Pot method for 15 minutes or follow stovetop instructions according to the package.
  2. Fluff rice with a fork once cooked.
  3. Meanwhile, chop the romaine, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Open bags, cans, or jars for additional toppings (carrots, olives, beets, hummus, and dressing). Drain the beets and slice/cube as preferred.
  5. Arrange all components buffet-style and allow everyone to build their own bowl starting with a base of rice, then greens, followed by layers of other toppings.
  6. Adjust flavors if necessary with lemon juice, vinegar, or additional salt.

Notes

  1. To keep textures fresh, store the rice and chopped veggies separately in airtight containers. Use this recipe as a base to customize according to your tastes or available ingredients.
