Notes

  • You can enjoy this bowl warm or cold. Warm bowls bring out more turmeric flavor, while cold bowls feel fresh and quick.
  • Frozen veggies work just as well as fresh. If using frozen, soften them briefly so the bowl mixes easily.
  • Add-ins like seeds or extra beans boost fiber and help keep blood sugar steadier.
  • If the dressing seems thick, thin it with a splash of water or lemon juice before tossing.
  • This recipe stores well for 2–3 days in the fridge, but add dressing right before serving if you want to keep the texture crisp.
  • For extra protein, add grilled chicken, tofu, or more chickpeas.
  • This bowl is naturally vegetarian and can be made vegan depending on the dressing you choose.
