# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The tahini dressing has this incredible way of making you feel satisfied without that heavy feeling you get from cream-based sauces.
  • You can assemble the entire bowl in less time than it takes to boil pasta, but still feel like youve created something restaurant-worthy.
02 -
  • Never pre-dress these bowls if making ahead, as the vegetables will release water and turn your beautiful creation into a soggy disappointment.
  • Massaging the tahini with a fork before adding other dressing ingredients prevents those annoying lumps that refuse to incorporate no matter how much you whisk.
03 -
  • Salt your cucumber slices and let them sit for 10 minutes before patting dry to prevent them from watering down your bowl as you eat.
  • When your avocado is slightly underripe but you need it now, dice it instead of slicing and toss with a bit of the lime juice from the dressing to help soften the texture.
