1
Cook the Quinoa
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and chop the seasonal vegetables into bite-sized pieces. You can steam or sauté them lightly in a pan with a tablespoon of olive oil until just tender.
3
Assemble the Bowl
In a large bowl, layer the cooked quinoa at the bottom. Add the chickpeas and the prepared vegetables on top.
4
Add Avocado
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it and arrange it on top of the bowl.
5
Dress the Bowl
Drizzle the remaining olive oil and lemon juice over the bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
6
Serve
Enjoy your nourishing Buddha Bowl immediately or store it in the fridge for later.
