# Expert tips:

01 -

The crunch of fresh vegetables against creamy avocado creates texture that keeps you interested bite after bite
You can throw everything together in twenty minutes flat, no cooking required
The dressing doubles as a sauce for grain bowls or salad later in the week

02 -

The dressing thickens as it sits, so add another splash of water right before serving if it looks too gloppy
Spiralized carrots release water as they sit, so dress the bowl immediately before eating to keep everything crisp
If you meal prep this, store the dressing separately and toss it in right before you eat
