Nobody puts together a bowl full of flavor-packed goodness like Chef Ivy. This one draws inspiration from Mexico with tender, chile-roasted pork, cooked in the style of Al Pastor. Served atop a nutty ancient grain pilaf and seasoned black beans, the bowl is finished with a simple salad of little gem lettuce, watermelon radish, red onion, cucumber and sliced avocado. Drizzle or toss everything in Chef Ivy's pleasantly tangy agave-lime vinaigrette, and dig in!
