What is a Buddha Bowl?

Buddha Bowl is a dish made of healthy whole grains, vegetables and proteins arranged in an artful way. Drizzle lightly with your favorite dressing and finish up the bowl with sesame or chia seeds. There are no rules to follow when making a Buddha Bowl. In fact, just go and check your fridge veggie bin and use up anything that will go bad any time soon.

These creations are so gorgeous and appetizing to eat. Honestly, I tend to take many pictures before I eat it.

What is Tahini Dressing or Sauce?

Tahini is ground toasted sesame seeds. Ever since I had a Tahini Buddha Bowl I got hooked. Trader Joe's sell a creamy and mildly nutty Tahini that taste like a light and creamy roasted peanut sauce. It is delicious and I like eating it by itself. Drizzle avocado with Tahini and it is creamier and yummy.
