Buddha Bowl with Sesame Ginger Dressing

Buddha Bowl with Sesame Ginger Dressing

This buddha bowl is the perfect summer lunch! With this heat wave, I am craving fresh, and cooling meals. The sesame ginger dressing really adds kick of flavour as well! 

I love a good buddha bowl! Mostly because it's just a fancy salad, but salads can get a bit boring. Mix it up with this buddha bowl! Or make it your own with different veggies and protein options. You can easily make a buddha bowl vegetarian or not. I choose to do chickpeas this time, but will often use shredded chicken, tuna, or grilled steak. To be honest it's usually whatever I have in the fridge! 

Ingredients 

• 2 beets, spiralized 
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup protein (chickpeas, shredded chicken, grilled steak etc.)

• 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp minced garlic
• 2 tbsp lime juice

Method 
- In a small mixing bowl combine all sauce ingredients and stir to combine
- Prep all your veggies and layer into a bowl with your protein of choice
- Drizzle sauce over top and sprinkle on sesame seeds, cilantro and chives
