Cherry Sage Mekong Bowl

July 26, 2016 By Kris Kelly

When you’re looking for a unique combination of flavors, try pairing seasonal fruit and herbs for an interesting addition to your favorite summer recipes. Today I’m sharing our Cherry Sage Mekong Bowl made with Mekong rice, seasonal cherries and fresh sage from my garden. Served as a main or side, the simplicity of this combination does not take a back seat to the unique flavors delivered in this pretty dinner bowl.

Benefits of cherries:

A powerhouse of nutrition, cherries contain an abundance of vitamin C, carotenoids, anthocyanins, potassium and fiber. They also contain the antioxidant melatonin, known to be helpful in regulating sleep patterns.

Cherry Sage Mekong Bowl:

The addition of slivered almonds increases the protein in our Cherry Sage Mekong Bowl, but feel free to add hemp seeds if serving as a main dish.
