Glory Bowl with Salad Option
The delicious Glory Bowl is even better as a salad option! I often substitute the rice for some lettuce to make it a nutritious, umami-flavour-packed salad! It’s lighter and fresher and still carries an incredibly complex nutty experience. Give it a go!
Why I love this Glory Bowl Salad
- Easy ingredients: most are available year-round.
- SUPER nutritious.
- Delicious Umami flavour leaving me satisfied.
The original Glory Bowl was developed at Whitewater Ski Hill near Nelson, BC, and named after the Glory Snowboarding Bowl! I have enjoyed this umami treat for years, but I often like to sub out the rice to make a fresher and lighter taste. I also like to throw in some alfalfa sprouts for added nutrition. This is a great inexpensive meal that can often be made with whatever you have kicking around your fridge because the dressing is so delicious and nutty!

Glory Bowl Salad Ingredients
The Salad Bowl
8 cups cooked brown rice (traditional, but I like to remove this for lettuce!)
2 cups beets, grated
2 cups carrots, grated
2 cups almonds or cashews, toasted
2 cups spinach leaves or lettuce
2 cups tofu, cubed OR Protein of choice (I used salmon)
2 cups alfalfa (optional)
Glory Bowl Dressing
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes*
3 T water
3 T tamari or soy sauce
3 T apple cider vinegar
1 cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 cups vegetable oil
1 tbsp tahini paste
Glory Bowl Salad Directions
I really prefer to use lettuce in place of the rice to make a glory bowl salad, but whatever you use, just divide the ingredients between your 4 bowls.
Next, just mix your glory bowl salad dressing ingredients together and shake well. There’s often plenty leftover, so just keep it in the fridge to use over anything that you want a nice savoury, umami flavour!
Add your glory bowl dressing to your salad, and enjoy!
