Rainbow Burrito Bowl

Here is my reel for this recipe!

This salad is a crowd pleaser for your summer barbecues, graduation parties, and weekend pool hangouts. It has the perfect sweet hint from the cherries, peaches, and Just Date syrup. Many things can be swapped/omitted in this salad, but I highly suggest keeping the herbs as they taste incredible with the nuts and fruit!

instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400*F.

  2. Massage chicken breasts in oil and seasonings.

  3. Heat 2 tbsp high heat oil in oven-safe skillet over high heat. Seat chicken breasts on each side for 2-3 minutes. After seared, pop in oven to finish cooking until chicken reaches 165*F (mine took ~30 mins)

  4. Start making the mango salsa. I used THIS RECIPE by Rachael’s Good Eats (one of my fav RDs!)

  5. Cut cabbage and massage kale. I kept cabbage raw and massaged kale with avocado oil drizzle and lemon juice. if you’re not massaging your kale you need to ASAP!

  6. Make dressing. Mix all ingredients together and add water to thin to desired consistency. Then add to kale salad

  7. Add all the good eats to your bowl. For mine I did: kale, cabbage, rice, grilled chicken, mango salsa, avocado, and lime. Other options: black beans (I wanted to add but forgot!), feta or other cheese, tomato pico, sweet potato, pickled onions
