If you’ve ever visited Asheville, North Carolina, you’ve probably eaten at or at least heard of Green Sage Cafe — it’s kind of a staple. It’s safe to say I absolutely LOVE the Buddha Bowl from Green Sage… I order it more often than I’d like to admit. Here’s my take on how you can easily remake their zesty and fresh Buddha Bowl at home with just a few simple ingredients!
The recipe for this Lemon Tahini Buddha Bowl is naturally gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and oh so simple to make. This will definitely be a new favorite lunch recipe for me, so the ingredients list below yields a single (large) serving. However, you could easily multiply this recipe and portion it out into containers for meal prep — just store the dressing and hummus in separate containers for best results.
Hope you love this zesty, Lemon Tahini Buddha Bowl recipe as much as I do! Be sure to comment below if you give it a try and follow me on Instagram if you don’t already.
Thanks!
