Rainbow Veggie Power Bowl - A Symphony of Flavor, Nutrients, and Immunity!

This vegetarian power bowl is a delightful explosion of color, taste, and health benefits. It's packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, all thanks to the power of organic ingredients.

Ingredients and their Health Benefits:

• 1 cup cooked brown rice (or quinoa for a gluten-free option): A whole grain rich in fiber, which aids digestion and keeps you feeling fuller for longer.
• 1 cup roasted sweet potato cubes (organic): Loaded with beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body, essential for healthy vision and immunity.
• 1 cup chopped broccoli florets (organic): A cruciferous vegetable rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which support immune function and may help reduce inflammation.
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (organic): A source of lycopene, an antioxidant linked to reduced risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
• 1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper (organic): Excellent source of vitamin C, which boosts the immune system and promotes collagen production for healthy skin.
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional): A good source of protein and calcium for strong bones and muscles.
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, or basil): These herbs add a burst of flavor and contain beneficial antioxidants and phytonutrients.

For the Dressing:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil: Provides healthy fats essential for nutrient absorption and heart health.
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice: Adds a tangy flavor and aids digestion with vitamin C.
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard: Enhances the dressing's flavor profile.
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano: Offers antioxidants and a warm, earthy flavor.
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with a tablespoon of olive oil and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
2. While the sweet potatoes roast, steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp.
3. In a large bowl, combine cooked brown rice, roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper.
