Ingredients
Bowls
- 3 cups 120 grams spinach leaves
- 1 medium zucchini shaved into thin slices (see notes)
- 1 cup 40 g broccoli or alfalfa sprouts
- 1/2 cup 60 g radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup 150 g strawberries, sliced
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Fresh basil for garnish
- Black sesame seeds or toasted sesame seeds for topping

Honey Miso Dressing

- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1/4 cup 60 mL honey, agave, or maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons 45 mL rice wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon 15 mL lemon juice
Instructions
- Place a steam basket in a medium pot and add an inch (2.5 cm) of water. Place the spinach in the steamer, cover, bring to a boil and lightly steam the spinach leaves for 3 to 4 minutes. Another quick steam option s to place the spinach in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds on high.
- In two serving bowls, arrange the steamed spinach, zucchini, broccoli sprouts, radishes, and strawberries.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the white miso paste, sesame oil, mustard, honey, rice vinegar, and lemon juice. Drizzle 1 to2 tablespoons (15 to 30 mL) of the dressing on top of each bowl. Save the extra dressing for later use. It keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Add the lemon slices, fresh basil and sesame seeds for garnish, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- For a low FODMAP version, use maple syrup in place of honey.
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup or agave in place of honey.
- A julienne slicer or peeler will work well to shave the zucchini into flat noodles. Roll up the noodles before placing in each bowl.
