In case you haven’t already committed to another of the million or so recipes for a Buddha Bowl, welcome to my version :-)
This was the star of my third Facebook Live appearance. I’m hoping to bring you guys some quick videos of unfussy options for making nutritious, whole food, plant based meals, along with just enough commentary to keep it interesting.
I wanted to make a pretty simple, and delicious bowl, with ingredients that you might just have on hand.
Buddha Bowl:
Mixed greens
Quinoa
Sweet Potatoes
Edamame
Broccoli
Mushrooms
Cashews
I highly recommend keeping something similar to the above ingredients on hand always, as these ingredients are versatile, and happen to make a great “Buddha Bowl”. You can use a variety of other veggies in this bowl, such as peppers, green or purple cabbage, carrots, cucumber, squash, and snap peas, to name a few.
The star here, really, is this dressing. I wanted to come up with a recipe that was very easy to remember. So, 5 ingredients (6 if you count the water).
Miso Maple Dressing:
Miso paste (whichever you have is fine)
Maple Syrup
Tahini
Rice Vinegar
Lemon Juice
Water
One tablespoon of each. Whisk it all for a couple minutes until it comes together…and yummm!
I think the lemon juice does a great job of brightening the dressing, so you have that umami flavor, deep tahini flavor, yet light and bright.
If you make the bowl and/or the dressing, let me know how it goes! And please, always feel free to email me with suggestions for future videos.
