Blueberry Grain Bowl
Thank you to the U.S Highbush Blueberry Council for sponsoring this post
I think the secret to a really delicious grain bowl is variety. It’s like building a really good sandwich. It’s gotta be the right ratios of textures and flavors. It has to be interesting! You eat with your eyes so if something isn’t beautiful and appetizing, I’m not going to enjoy it. This Blueberry Grain Bowl is super satisfying. From the peppery arugula to the juicy blueberries and creamy feta cheese, there is so much going on your tastebuds will be dancing! I like keeping these ingredients on hand for an easy grain bowl build. This bowl is also a staple during the summer months for our beach playdates-just wait to add the dressing!
