# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between creamy avocado and warm roasted sweet potato hits differently every single time.
  • It comes together faster than you'd expect, perfect for those nights when you're genuinely hungry.
  • Everything is naturally gluten-free, which means you're not sacrificing flavor or substance for dietary needs.
02 -
  • Don't assemble your bowl more than 10 minutes before eating—the warm potatoes and beef will start making the greens wilt if you wait too long.
  • If you're cooking for people with different preferences, keep the components separate and let everyone assemble their own bowl; this also prevents the sad situation of overdressed greens.
03 -
  • If you're cooking for four people, prep your ingredients assembly-line style—have all your bowls, greens, and toppings ready before you start cooking the beef and potatoes.
  • The dressing tastes better when it's at room temperature or slightly warm, so don't refrigerate it right before serving if you can help it.
