Summer Beet Macro Bowl with Sweet Beet Tahini made with beets, quinoa, raw veggies, and a date-sweetened dressing.

Is it summer yet?

OK, so, not officially, but the signs of summer are all here.

My comfy flip flops evicted the TOMs and boots resting on my shoe rack, big bulbous green watermelons are parked at grocery store entrances, and our local pool down the street is splashing with activity.

You can totally see summer in my bowls, too.

I’m currently loading them up with raw vegetables and brighter dressings to welcome summer with open arms.

You’re going to love this Summer Beet Macro Bowl with Sweet Beet Tahini to BEET the HEAT.

(Sorry, I had to.)

I genuinely feel lighter when the weather is warmer.

Life just feels a little easier, you know?

I’m reminded of this every year after Memorial Day, when my mind is full of summer adventures and my heart is already at the beach.

And my stomach is clearly ready for lunch, because looking at this bowl is making me hungry!

Loves Beets

Now that the weather is warmer, I’m spending a little less time on meal prep and doing a little more improvisation.

I love using Love Beets in my recipes because they’re SO convenient.

When I want to add beets to my dishes and don’t have any prepared, Love Beets to the rescue!

They’re organic, pre-cooked, and delicious right out of the package.

They’re perfect to add to bowls because they keep the prep time low and the ingredient list even lower!

How to Make Sweet Beet Tahini

Can we just talk about this dressing?

I don’t even know what color it is, pink, purple, magenta…all I know is that I want to put it on all the vegetables.

I created this sweet beet tahini by adding Beet Powder and dates to my standard tahini dressing.

The result is an earthy, mildly sweet, perfectly pink dip!

The Beet Powder is pretty awesome because you get all of the health benefits of beets without any of the mess of peeling, cooking, or juicing.

However, if you don’t have Beet Powder, don’t worry, just throw in a roasted beet to achieve the same effect, or, alternatively, try a simple lemon tahini.

How to Serve Summer Beet Macro Bowl with Sweet Beet Tahini

Enjoy this bowl as a delicious summer lunch or dinner.

This is the kind of salad you’ll find me sneaking into the pool, picnic-ing with at a winery, or enjoying on the patio.

You’re going to love the different textures, flavors, and colors in this bowl! It has a bit of everything.

I love to prep the dressing, quinoa, and veggies separately and throw them together for a fresh meal.

For added protein, try adding baked tofu or legumes.

Enjoy!
