Not every vegetable needs a recipe. When you look into your refrigerator at all the beautiful colors; things don’t need to get complicated. Think about how you prefer to eat each vegetable that comes in your CSA box each week. Raw? Sauteed? Roasted? Steamed? Add in some grains if you prefer, such as: farro, quinoa, wheat berries, spelt, rice, bulgur, or pasta. And maybe a protein; I chose a soft cooked egg. I prepped my vegetables in the beginning of the week and then just had to assemble the rainbow to create a delicious meal. I topped it off with my vegan cashew chipotle sauce.
Rainbowl Grain Bowl
Soak raw cashews in water for at least an hour, they will become very soft. Then drain and measure 1 cup for the recipe. Store any unused soaked cashews in water in the fridge.
Blend everything in a blender while slowly drizzling in the olive oil.
