How to Make a Super Bowl

Optional dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan

The sky is the limit when it comes to constructing your own "Super Bowl". Filled to the brim with colorful produce, satisfying protein, healthy fats, and lip-smacking homemade dressing. It's next level salad that doesn't disappoint.

Pro-Tips

  • ​Experiment with different types of vegetables, grains and proteins.

  • Elevate flavor, texture, and nutrition with:

    • Dried fruit (currants, dried blueberries, chopped apricots, dried cranberries)

    • Fresh fruit (chopped apples, pears, berries)

    • Raw or toasted nuts & seeds (pecans, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, almonds, sesame seeds)

    • Chopped avocado or olives

    • Hummus

    • Feta, goat or parmesan cheese (in moderation)

    • Different herbs and spices

    • Nutritional yeast for added vitamins, protein, and "cheesy" flavor.

Vegan Bowl

Ingredients

Greens

  • Massaged kale (with clean hands, sprinkle kale with a spoonful of avocado oil or EVOO + dash of salt, and massage gently for 2-3 minutes)

  • Baby spinach

  • Arugula

  • Chopped Swiss chard

  • Romaine lettuce

  • Shredded cabbage

​

Chopped Fresh or Dried Herbs

  • Parsley, cilantro, dill, basil, mint, thyme etc. 

  • For dried herbs, I love Herbs de Provence

​

Raw Vegetables
Get creative! Salad staples like cucumbers, tomatoes, and carrots are always great... but so are shredded beets, shredded Brussels sprouts, zucchini ribbons, red onions, chopped cauliflower, radishes, sprouts, jicama, water chestnuts, canned artichoke, green beans, diced celery etc.

 

Cooked Vegetables

Dinner leftovers to the rescue... Steamed or roasted vegetables are a fantastic addition to a super bowl. Think roasted beets, roasted onions, chopped roasted baby or sweet potato, cooked corn, steamed broccoli florets, roasted Brussel sprouts, roasted carrots. 

 

Healthy Hearty Grains (optional)

Making a precooked pot of grains for the week is great for multiple super bowls and other meals. Some options include, wild or brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, and couscous. 

 

Protein Source

Again, so many options!

​

For meat-eaters: Hard boiled eggs, organic baked chicken breast, grass-fed steak or lamb meatballs, baked salmon, canned tuna fish, steamed shrimp. 

 

For vegetarians/vegans: Sauteed tempeh, adzuki beans, black beans, garbanzo beans/chickpeas, lentils, black-eyed peas. 

​

Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette 

  • Juice of 1/2 Meyer lemon

  • Zest of 1/2 Meyer lemon

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 small shallot, diced very fine, about 1 tablespoon

  • dash of Himalayan salt & black pepper

Instructions

  1. Start with a base of leafy greens and herbs
