# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This bowl lets you pull off a vibrant, feel-good meal with ingredients you likely have on hand (and it tastes secretly gourmet).
  • It became a dinner go-to for me because the toppings and dressing are endlessly customizable—no two bowls have to be the same.
02 -
  • Once I tried piling on hot rice, and the avocado turned a little too melty—room temperature rice is perfect.
  • Mixing the tuna with a touch of dressing before assembling keeps every bite flavorful and moist.
03 -
  • Toasting the sesame seeds for a minute in a dry pan makes their nuttiness pop.
  • A drizzle of lime juice right before serving can brighten all the flavors beautifully.
