Description

This vibrant Buddha bowl is a celebration of plant-based goodness, a symphony of textures and flavors designed to nourish and delight. Imagine a foundation of fresh spinach, its subtle earthiness providing the perfect canvas for the colorful ingredients to come. Tender florets of broccoli and cauliflower, lightly steamed to retain their crispness and vibrant green and white hues, offer a delightful bite and a wealth of nutrients.

These cruciferous vegetables bring a subtle, almost grassy sweetness, creating a harmonious counterpoint to the other elements. At the heart of this bowl lies a luscious cashew cream, its richness lending a decadent touch without being heavy. The cashews are transformed into a velvety smooth sauce, tangy and bright, that coats each ingredient in a blanket of flavor.

It's a creamy, dreamy experience that elevates the entire dish. Adding another layer of richness is the avocado, its smooth, buttery texture melting into the other components. The avocado's mild flavor complements the tang of the cashew cream and the subtle sweetness of the vegetables, creating a well-rounded and satisfying experience.

Feel free to customize this bowl with your own personal touch. A sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds will add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor. A dollop of guacamole would introduce another layer of creamy richness, along with a zesty, herbaceous note.

Other options include a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. This Buddha bowl is more than just a meal; it's a canvas for your culinary creativity, a chance to experiment with flavors and textures and create a dish that is both nourishing and deeply satisfying. Each bite offers a balance of savory, creamy, and fresh elements, making it a truly delightful and wholesome experience.

Instructions

    1.
    In a small pot, combine cashews with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes, or until the cashews are soft enough to break easily with a fork.
    2.
    Transfer the boiled cashews to a blender. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water, adding more as needed to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Blend in lemon juice and set aside.
    3.
    Cut the cauliflower into small pieces, slightly larger than cauliflower rice. Cut the broccoli into small florets.
    4.
    Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add the cauliflower and broccoli florets and season with salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook, tossing frequently, until the vegetables are charred and tender.
    5.
    Chop the spinach and combine it with shredded lettuce in a mixing bowl. Dress the greens with extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
    6.
    Toss the greens together and arrange them on a serving plate. Top with the warm cauliflower and broccoli, sliced avocado, and a generous drizzle of cashew cream to complete the meal.
