- Place a scoop of rice in the bottom of each individual serving bowl. Top with chopped cucumbers, sliced radishes, hard boiled eggs, and pepitas.
- Make healthy goat cheese dressing: Combine goat cheese, honey, oil, vinegar, lemon and water in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To make leftovers :: Toss ingredients with dressing, put in glass food safe containers (which are healthier than plastic tupperwear!). Leftovers should be good for the whole work week.
