Rip’s Sweet Potato Bowl

By Rip Esselstyn

I love this simple and fast dinner bowl. Filled with all kinds of nutritious and delicious ingredients, it has a great variety of tastes and colors and is truly satisfying.

I always keep a few cooked sweet potatoes in the fridge so I can pop them in the microwave for three to four minutes while chopping up the other ingredients. Dinner is done in less than six minutes!
