Rice Bowls with Kidney Beans, Spinach, and Mixed Veggies

This complete meal in a bowl requires very little cooking and has a lot of textures and flavors. Use any beans, grains, or vegetables you like and this vegan rice bowl will come together wonderfully with our Cilantro-Cashew Dressing.

Ingredients

  • 2 15-oz. cans red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

  • 3 cups cooked brown rice, warmed
  • 1 cup finely chopped tomatoes
  • ½ cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1 cup Cilantro-Cashew Dressing
  • 2 tablespoon finely snipped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan cook frozen vegetables in a small amount of boiling water 5 minutes or just until tender; drain.
  • Divide spinach among soup or salad bowls. Add beans, vegetables, and rice. Top with tomatoes and green onions, and drizzle with Cilantro-Cashew Dressing. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top. Serve warm.
