Mediterranean Buddha Bowl
Customise your bowl with flavours you love
A ‘Buddah Bowl’ is a nourishing dish that can be eaten for dinner or lunch, served warm or cold, vegan or non vegan – the possibilities are endless. With small portions of healthy ingredients, you enjoy a well balanced meal that feeds all the senses.
The perfect dish for transforming leftovers into a meal or doing a fridge clean
Cleaning out your fridge may seem like a chore, but try reframing it as an opportunity to make the most out of your ingredients rather than throwing them out. That’s why we love the ‘bowl’ format so much – it can incorporate a mix of pantry staples, leftovers and new produce.
So turn last tablespoon of dip, that lonely quarter of lettuce in the back of the veggie draw, and that can of beans hiding in your pantry into something amazing! The Salty Greek can bring them all together, whether sprinkled on top, used to marinade, or incorporated in a dressing.
