The Kitchen's Salmon Bowl

Tastemake4
By Lynda Wheatley | Dec. 21, 2019

If the run-up to the holidays has left you feeling a little peaked, consider stepping off the Buddy the Elf diet of candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup to make way for something we like to call the day-long dish: The Kitchen’s salmon bowl. It might be made for one person for one meal, but this behemoth bowl of goodness — protein-rich salmon and hard-boiled eggs, detoxifying cucumbers and greens, lycopene-rich tomatoes, anti-inflammatory red onions, antioxidant-rich capers, protein-and-fiber-packed quinoa, and a just plain good dressing of lemon-dill yogurt — measures about 7 inches wide and nearly 4 inches deep. We got ours at 9:30am after a highly indulgent Traverse City’s men’s night. One breakfast, lunch, and dinner later, the bowl was finally empty — and our temple feeling far better for it. $13.95. Get yours at The Kitchen, 1249 Woodmere Ave. in Traverse City. (231) 947-8646, www.thekitchen.tc
