Buddha Bowl Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Lentils

    Rinse the French lentils under cold water. In a pot, combine lentils with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the lentils are cooking, slice the cucumber and avocado. If using whole pickled vegetables, chop them into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Make the Dill Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, fresh dill (to taste), salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Buddha Bowl

    In a large bowl or plate, start with a base of baby mixed greens. Top with cooked lentils, sliced cucumber, sun-dried tomatoes, pickled vegetables, avocado slices, and halved hardboiled eggs. Drizzle with dill vinaigrette before serving.
