The bowl is adorned with a variety of fresh, seasonal vegetables that add both color and nutrients. Crisp cucumber slices, juicy cherry tomatoes, and shredded carrots offer a refreshing crunch, while creamy avocado provides a dose of healthy fats and a luscious texture. A handful of leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, adds an extra boost of vitamins and minerals.
