Make this dish with your favourite veggies, and brown or red rice.
Per serving:
In saucepan, cover rice with 2 cups (500 mL) water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
While rice is cooking, scrub and quarter beets; steam for 15 minutes or until tender. Remove skins.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Stir 1 tsp (5 mL) oil with cumin and turmeric. Smear over salmon. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet and roast for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
While salmon is cooking, steam carrots and prepare dressing. For dressing, place oil, ginger, vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic in blender and whirl until mixed.
Once rice and salmon are cooked, assemble the bowls. Divide rice among 4 bowls. Top with beets, handfuls of watercress, and carrots. Cut salmon into 4 pieces and add a piece to each bowl. Drizzle with dressing, then sprinkle with Detox Dust.
Ever thought about making burgers as an appetizer or as a potluck meal for friends and family? Try making your favourite burger into bite-sized portions.

What worldwide vacation is complete without a stop in Italy? Dad won’t miss the meat in this flavourful mushroom alternative complete with Italian spices and a zesty vegetable tapenade. Portobellos have a uniquely “meaty” texture and act as a sponge to lock in loads of flavour. This meaty plant-based burger is sure to become a favourite—even with any meat-lovers in your life. Custom-made! Don’t be afraid to customize your burger buns to fit your patties. If your bun’s too big, trim off excess and save the trimmed bits of bread, but don’t discard. Instead, cut into small cubes; drizzle with some olive oil, sea salt, and seasonings of choice; bake at 350 F (180 C) for 10 to 15 minutes, and you’ll have delicious homemade croutons for use in soups and salads throughout the week.
Next stop, Asia! This shrimp burger combines classic Asian flavours with unique toppings for rich umami flavour with the saltiness of the ocean.

Keep those burgers juicy Place raw patties on a plate or tray, and cover and freeze or refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to keep them together and to lock in moisture.
