In 4 bowls, arrange approximately equal amounts of the quinoa or rice, kale or spinach, sweet potato, black beans, and bell pepper.
In a blender, combine mango hemp seeds, juice of 1 lime or vinegar, the white portion of a green onion, mustard, salt, pepper, 1/4 c (60 mL) of water, and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the syrup (or coconut nectar, if preferred). Puree until very smooth.
Taste, and add 2 to 3 tbsp (30-45 mL) water to thin (if desired) and another 1 tbsp (15 mL) of syrup or nectar to sweeten it.
If you'd like to pair this dressing with some spicy foods or add an extra punch of flavor, try adding 1 to 2 tbsp (15 to 30 mL) of chopped cilantro or basil while pureeing.
Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) of dressing onto each bowl and save remaining dressing for other uses throughout the week.
