Super-Food Buddha Bowl Salad

By Rachel - Silversurfers Assistant Editor Aug 15, 2016

Hearty, healthy and deliciously satisfying, this Buddha bowl recipe is a great way to turn the volume up on the traditional salad.

This one features a delicious blend of hot and cold, with toasty roasted chickpeas and broccoli paired alongside crunchy carrot and mixed leaves.

A zingy lemon and tahini dressing brings it all together for an easy lunch or dinner.

  • 1 x 240g tin chickpeas, drained
  • 120g broccoli
  • 1tbsp sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch of sea salt
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1 bag mixed salad
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 2tbsp tahini
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2tsp sesame seeds
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Divide the broccoli into small florets, toss those onto the baking tray too and drizzle with the sesame oil and sprinkle with cayenne and a good pinch of salt. Shake the pan to coat everything and roast for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile divide the carrot and leaves between two bowls then make the dressing.
