Mediterranean Buddha Bowls with Tahini Dressing

Why should you love Mediterranean Buddha Bowls?

  • They are loaded with tasty Mediterranean flavors like olives, feta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.
  • These bowls are filled with protein, healthy carbs and fats.
  • The addition of the pumpkin seeds makes for the perfect crunch.
  • The homemade Tahini Herb Dressing pulls everything together!

You can easily prepare Buddha Bowls in advance. Assemble the bowls and store the dressing separately in the fridge. Then, pour the dressing over the top when you're ready to enjoy. I love THESE meal prep containers.

These bowls are a wonderful vegetarian meal all on their own. Alternatively, if you are looking for extra protein, add in some Shredded Chicken or Air Fryer Shrimp.

Tahini Herb Dressing

How to make tahini herb dressing?

  1. Place all the ingredients into a small jar.

  3. You can even double the dressing recipe to keep in the fridge for salads all week long!
Mediterranean Buddha Bowl

Customize this Buddha Bowl

  • Use your favorite green as the base. I'm partial to arugula.
  • If you don't love quinoa, substitute couscous or farro.
  • Add in any additional veggies that you love.
  • I chose to include chickpeas over hummus in this recipe, but you can use either one.
  • Make this recipe vegan and use vegan feta cheese.
  • Use a different seed in place of pumpkin seeds such as hemp seeds, sesame seeds or sunflower seeds.
  • Pickled red onions would be great to add in here. I'll let you in on a secret. When I finish my jar of pickles, I toss some thinly sliced red onion into the pickle juice. After one day of refrigeration, I have pickled red onions!

    This was such a delicious recipe! My only change was the addition of a chopped avocado. It was a win with my husband and children too. It will definitely be repeated. Thank you!
