Every meal-prep bowl fails the same way — the greens go soggy by Tuesday. Keep them separate and they don't.
Everything else in this bowl improves after a day in the fridge.

What the microgreens are doing here.
Kid-friendly
Broccoli shoots have almost no bitterness, so they disappear into a bowl like this.
Stays crisp
Stored apart, microgreens hold 7–14 days — far longer than dressed salad greens.
Sweet plus green
Pea shoots add sweetness that plays against the tahini.
Variations and pairings
Add protein
Grilled chicken, salmon or a jammy egg on top.
Different grain
Brown rice, barley or couscous all work.
Spicier
Add harissa to the dressing and radish microgreens on top.
Lower carb
Swap the grain for a base of extra microgreens and shaved fennel.
