Here’s a fresh “Spring” take on my favorite dish: Nourish Bowls. If you haven’t read, My Simple Formula for Nourish Bowls, start there!
Nourish bowls are a fun approach to salads that aren’t boring. They contain a combination of grains, protein, veggies, fats, and flavor factors. Here’s the breakdown for this Spring Seasonal Nourish Bowl:
- Grains: farro, a hearty grain rich in zinc, fiber, and vitamin B3; it adds a nutty flavor.
- Protein: hard-boiled egg, but you can customize this based on your dietary preference.
- Veggies: snap peas, spinach, and radish — common Spring seasonal produce
- Fats: the dressing is packed with healthy fats from avocado and yogurt.
- Flavor factor: there is so much flavor in the dressing (trust me) + I added feta for a sharp flavor, too!
I wanted to bring highlight seasonal produce that I’m excited about including spinach, snap peas, and radishes. Anyone else excited to get back to the outdoor Farmers Markets this Spring?

- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 clove of garlic
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS

- Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until combined. Set aside.

Additional Meal Prep Tips
- If you’re making this salad for 1 or 2 people, you’ll have extra ingredients. Save each ingredient in its own separate airtight container in the fridge. Ingredients, including the dressing, will save for up to 7 days. You’ll have an easy assembly meal ready to go!
- Short cuts: use your favorite store-bought green goddess dressing. I love the one from Trader Joe’s if I don’t have time to make the dressing.
