# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under twenty minutes, which means you can make it on a weeknight without questioning your life choices.
  • Every bite feels indulgent because of the creamy avocado and tahini, but it's actually straightforward and honest food.
  • The colors are so vibrant that plating it feels like you're creating something, not just assembling lunch.
02 -
  • The dressing will thicken as it sits, so if you're making it ahead, whisk in a little extra water just before serving.
  • Don't slice your avocado until you're ready to assemble the bowl—it browns faster than you'd think.
  • Spiralized carrots are best eaten the same day you make them; they soften and lose their appeal by the next morning.
03 -
  • Whisk your tahini dressing until it's noticeably paler than when you started—that's when it's reached peak creaminess.
  • Keep your avocado cold until the last second, and use a sharp knife so the slices stay intact and beautiful.
