Rip's Sweet Potato Bowl

Notes

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 3 to 4 minutes while chopping up the other ingredients. Dinner is done in less than 6 minutes!
