Equipment

2 large bowls
1 small mason jar

Ingredients

For the Dressing

1/2 cup olive oil or avocado oil
1/4 cup runny tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice or juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp maple syrup omit for sugar free
1 tsp tamari sauce, cococnut aminos or GF soy sauce
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

For the Bowl

1 cup dried wild rice
1 can wild salmon
1 large cucumber sliced
2 cups spinach
1 cup sprouts optional

Instructions

Cook the Wild Rice

On the Stove: Rinse 1 cup of wild rice under cold water. In a pot, combine the wild rice with 3 cups of water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the grains have burst open. Drain any excess water and fluff with a fork.
In a Pressure Cooker: Rinse 1 cup of wild rice under cold water. Add rice to the pressure cooker with 1.5 cups of water. Seal the lid and cook for 30 minutes. Allow natural release for 10 minutes. Fluff the cooked wild rice with a fork and it's ready to use

Prepare the Dressing

In a mason jar, add olive oil, runny tahini, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, tamari sauce, sea salt, black pepper.
Secure with a lid and shake to mix ingredients.

Assemble the Bowls:

Divide the cooked wild rice between two bowls.
Top each bowl with equal portions of drained wild salmon.
Add a handful of spinach, cucumber slices, and sprouts to each bowl.

Add the Dressing:

Drizzle the maple tahini dressing over each bowl.

Notes

Note on Tahini: Be sure to use runny tahini. Hardened tahini paste will not work. A good quality tahini is made simply from sesame seeds. Avoid tahini made with added oils or additives.

Substitute honey for maple syrup.

Substitute brown or white rice for wild rice.

Substitute tamari, GF soy sauce or coconut aminos for the Maple Tahini Dressing.

For sugar free: omit maple syrup from the tahini dressing.

You will have leftover dressing. Use it to make another bowl or use as a salad dressing.
