Seeds of 1 pomegranate
100g baby spinach leaves

Asian dressing (makes 150ml)

1 cup coriander leaves

1/4 cup (60ml) coconut milk
2 tbs apple juice or coconut water
1 tbs honey or coconut sugar

Method

1.

For the dressing, place all the ingredients in a small food processor and whiz until combined. If not using immediately, transfer to a small jar, secure with a lid and chill for up to 1 week. Shake well to serve.
2.

Divide the Asian dressing among four 2 cup (500ml) Mason jars. Divide the rice, followed by sweet potato, pomegranate seeds, spinach, carrot, chicken and sprouts among jars, pressing down after adding each ingredient to form separate layers. Seal with lids and chill until ready to serve.
3.

To serve, tip the contents of each jar into a bowl and gently toss to combine.
