the whole bowl experience

If you've never been to Portland, OR, it's time you go.  There's even a TV show based on the culture of Portland.  The one thing Portlandia hasn't shown *yet* is the food cart culture in Portland.  Food carts EVERYWHERE!  One of the best, and most addicting and healthy ones, Whole Bowl.

the assembly (bottom to top): brown rice, black beans, tali sauce, salsa, sour cream, olives, avocado, cheddar, *cilantro*

TALI SAUCE:

• 1/4 C. Olive oil
• 1/4 C. Almonds (soaked)
• 2 Tbsp. Brewer's Yeast / Nutritional Yeast (if you can't find it, it's okay!)
• 1/4 C. Garbanzo Beans (properly sprouted and cooked)
• 1/4 C. Water
• 1/4 C. Lemon juice, fresh
• 1 clove of garlic (I would add 2+ cloves next time)
• 1/2 tsp. Sea salt
• 1 tsp. Curry powder
• 1 tsp. Cumin
• 1/2 tsp. Onion powder
• 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• BLEND ALL OF THESE TOGETHER
