# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes, which means lunch doesn't have to be boring even on your busiest days.
  • Every component can be prepped ahead, so you're really just assembling freshness and flavor when hunger strikes.
  • The creamy, crunchy, tangy textures hit all your senses at once in a way that feels way more indulgent than it actually is.
02 -
  • Assemble these bowls right before eating—letting them sit makes the greens wilt and the textures blur together into something less interesting.
  • Taste your components before assembling; if your hummus or tahini is bland, a pinch of salt and squeeze of lemon juice will wake it right up.
03 -
  • Toast your own sesame seeds in a dry pan for literally one minute—the difference between bland and magnificent is that simple.
  • If your tahini sauce is too thick, thin it with warm water and lemon juice one tablespoon at a time until it reaches the perfect drizzle consistency.
