Bowls are the new plates. It's true. Martha Stewart said it, so it's true. Ha ha! Really though! Have you noticed how popular meals served in bowls have become? Today I'm serving up a California roll...in a bowl. Who is a sushi lover out there? If I'm being honest - I'm pretty reserved when it comes to sushi. No sashimi for me. I'll stick to the spicy crab rolls and shrimp tempura rolls. The California roll is your standard, safe, roll. It was the first sushi roll I ever tasted and I still enjoy them. Served deconstructed in a bowl is a modern twist on the classic taste.
What Do I Need To Make This Sushi Bowl Recipe?
You'll need:
- cooked white rice
- cucumber
- avocado
- imitation crab meat
- black sesame seeds
- BRIANNAS Organic Honey Ginger Vinaigrette

So, I was thrilled when they announced their organic line. I am always trying to eat things that are better for me - so this is the perfect addition to my recipes.
BRIANNAS was founded in Austin, TX - and has been around for more than 35 years. Today, BRIANNAS is one of the most popular salad dressings in the world.
