Ingredients

7 Layer Casserole

2 cups of cooked brown rice or brown rice/quinoa mix I used Seeds of Change brown rice/quinoa
1 -15 oz can of black or red beans rinsed
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 cups fresh spinach or mixed greens
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
½ cup green onions
1 avocado sliced

Cilantro for garnish

Jalapeno Creme

1 cup raw cashews
1 cup water
5 cloves garlic
2 tablespoon jalapeno sauce
1 teaspoon sea salt
juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions

Saute mushrooms and spinach in olive oil. (This is optional if you are serving as a cold salad, but even in salad, I prefer my mushrooms and greens sauteed in this dish)
Layer the rice, beans, greens, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and green onions in 1 to 1.5 quart bowl. (If you are eating this bowl hot, proceed to saute rice, beans, tomatoes and green onions as well)
Add all Jalapeno Creme ingredients to high speed blender and blend until smooth.
Top with Jalapeno Creme, sliced avocado, red pepper flakes and cilantro.
Serve either cold as a salad or warmed as a bowl.
