Middle Eastern Rice Bowl
This recipe comes from Shred Happens. With a few "tweaks", I make my own version. Make pickled onions in advance and this meal comes together in minutes. For a lower carb meal, use cauliflower rice instead of rice. The simple dressing is easy to make and brings everything together in a harmonious bowl that will make your tastebuds sing!
