Lily Kunin's Grain Bowl with Miso-Tahini Dressing

When it comes to quick and nutritious lunch options, grain bowls are always a good choice. Made with whatever healthful ingredients you happen to have on hand, and requiring no special tools to prepare, they are perfect for busy, on-the-go days. If you aren’t used to building your own or just want to nail the perfect mix of nutrients, colors, and flavors, I love this “Daily Bowl” recipe from Lily Kunin’s new cookbook, “Good Clean Food: Super Simple Plant-Based Recipes for Everyday”. 

Lily is a nutritionist who made her name with a cult-loved website and Instagram account, Clean Food Dirty City. Like her site, the new book is filled with approachable, versatile recipes you can dive right into and make your own. For this recipe, for example, Lily recommends topping it off with her miso-tahini dressing but also notes that her green tahini and miso-ginger dressings would work well too. There’s a recipe for each one in the book so the choice is ultimately yours. The only hard part is picking which one to go with! Get her basic instructions below and be sure to check out the book for more ideas. XXJKE
