Our grain-and-veggie bowl boasts a zesty lemon-thyme dressing and lots of fresh veggies. The delightful textures range from chewy brown rice to tender spinach to creamy white beans to crunchy green beans and carrots. We slice the green beans crosswise into thin slices so that they’re crunchy but manageable for eating raw.
