Preparation
  1. Prepare the bowls by dividing all the salad ingredients between two medium or large bowls.
  2. For the avocado crema, add all ingredients except water to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. If the mixture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Serving

Storage
  1. Undressed salads can be stored airtight in the fridge for up to four days; extra crema can also be stored for the same duration but may oxidize.

Notes

For best results, use fresh ingredients. Consider using leftover rice or brown rice for added nutrition. Customize garnishes and enjoy a variety of textures.
