| - Yafo is my literal definition of happiness and I am proud to admit I live here once a week. It is a bit overwhelming, but after 10+ visits, I think I have it down. Here we go!
1. Choose your base (salad, grain, hummus, tzatziki, baba ganoush or half and half). I always get the hummus bowl and ask for a bit of tzatziki and baba ganoush on top. Also, yes to the olive oil and paprika that they drizzle on top of the hummus!
2. Choose your toppings. I get the onions, beets, quinoa salads (there is one that has cranberries and it is MAGICAL - "lemon and cranberry quinoa salad"), cauliflower rice tabbouleh, purple cabbage slaw and cucumber/tomato salad.
3. Choose your protein. I usually skip the protein because my bowl is so delicious on its own! Yafo makes me believe I can be a vegetarian.
4. Choose your sides. I get mac and cheese, brussel sprouts and the potatoes on top. Lifehack: if you get the side items on top, they're $1 instead of $3. I do recall a visit where I literally put every single side on top (got a little too overzealous #noregrets).
5. Choose your sauces. My favorites are the cilantro jalapeno sauce, spicy reg schug (habenero.. beware!), garlic sauce and lemon tahini. The cilantro yogurt is also yummy!
Yafo offers a happy pick me up and makes me feel like I'm being healthy. Second lifehack: of you put make and cheese on a hummus bowl, it becomes healthy. Who knew?
