Product Suggestion
To make this recipe even easier, I recommend using a salad spinner. It is an essential tool for making this Rainbow Veggie Power Bowl even more delightful, as it quickly and effectively dries your freshly washed kale, ensuring every leaf is crisp and ready for massaging. By removing excess water, the spinner allows the lemon-tahini dressing to cling beautifully to the greens, enhancing every bite with a perfect balance of flavor and texture. Plus, its user-friendly design makes it a breeze to use and clean, streamlining your prep process and adding a touch of convenience to your healthy cooking routine.
