Shroomami Bowl

Can we talk about Sunday night’s Superbowl! I still can’t believe it! I don’t know where to begin. I spent the first two nearly 3 quarters in shear disbelief. I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. So let’s just fast forward to that unbelievable catch by Edelman. Followed by none one but 2 two-point conversions to tie the game. I couldn’t believe my eyes!

So my sister and I absolutely love the movie miracle (we can recite every line) and in the 4th quarter I texted her “Do you believe in Miracles?” YES! that overtime touch down by James White was unreal and Tom (first name basis) proved once and for all that he is the Greatest of All Time!

So today’s recipe doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the Superbowl, except for the fact that Tom Brady and Giselle are well known for eating healthy, so I feel like they would totally eat this salad with tofu and beets!

This salad is my copycat version of the sweetgreen Shroomami Bowl, which I just cannot get enough of! Its chock full of veggies, whole grains, and a dressing with the right kind of kick. But as much as I love getting this at sweetgreen, I also believe in cooking and preparing my own lunches to bring to work. So to have the best of both worlds, I developed my own recipe that highlights everything I love about the Shroomami Salad. And here it is! Let me know what you think!
