Deconstructed Sushi Bowl
All the ingredients you would find in a sushi roll in salad form with a spicy mayo dressing.
Are you someone that craves sushi a lot? To be honest, I have no idea how to make sushi from scratch. One night, I really wanted sushi, but didn't want to go out to eat. I tend to eat way more and my body feels better when I eat at home. I love cooking, so I thought why not make it into a bowl? That way I was able to swap out the rice for quinoa and make my own homemade dairy-free "spicy mayo dipping sauce". Veggies are the star of the dish here because I was able to up my veggie game by making it at home. Ditch the takeout because you will definitely want to try my all new deconstructed sushi bowl.

2 5 or 6 oz. cans of chunk lite tuna, drained
1 cup brown rice
1/3 cup mayo or veganaise
