### How to Build It

#### 1. **Cook your base**:
Start with cooked quinoa or your favorite whole grain. It’s high in protein and fiber, which helps sustain your energy.

#### 2. **Add roasted veggies**:
Sweet potatoes are our top pick—they’re loaded with vitamins and provide slow-burning carbs. Roast them with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper at 400°F for 25–30 minutes.

#### 3. **Pile on the raw veggies**:
Cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and avocado add freshness, hydration, and nutrients. Slice and layer them generously.

#### 4. **Choose your protein**:
Grilled chicken for muscle repair, tofu for plant-based strength, or chickpeas for a vegetarian boost—whatever keeps you going.

#### 5. **Drizzle with dressing**:
Whisk together the dressing ingredients and drizzle generously over your bowl. It brings everything together with a tangy, satisfying finish.

#### 6. **Top it off**:
Add your favorite extras—greens, cheese, seeds, nuts, or hummus—for texture and extra nutrition.
