Lately, I have been eating lots of salads and veggie bowls for dinner. Vegan Asian Salad, Cajun Tofu Salad, and Vegan Green Salad are a few examples.

Jerk bowl is the perfect recipe for a summer vegan bowl.  Not being able to travel, due to the current events, this vegan jerk bowl revives memories of home.
