Buddha bowl

Colorful nourishment vessel

A Buddha bowl is a vegetarian or vegan meal served in a single bowl, typically featuring grains, vegetables, legumes, and a flavorful dressing or sauce.

The name evokes abundance—ingredients heaped high like a rounded belly.

I made a Buddha bowl with quinoa, roasted chickpeas, and tahini dressing.
