Optional Add-Ins:
I love topping bowls with fresh herbs or anything pickled. For example, fresh mint or basil, pickled red onion, kimchi, or kraut.
Alternatively, a toasted nut or seed, such as pepitas, pistachios, or almonds are always great for texture and richness.
And, of course, a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime will add bright top notes and extra freshness.
