Avocado & lime Buddha bowl

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Salads
The essence of a Buddha bowl is the visual celebration of abundance and balance: the bowl is heaped high (like Buddha's belly) with nutrient-rich ingredients. Here, the complete protein of quinoa, the healthy fats of avocado, and the fibre of fresh vegetables come together. It is not only beautiful but a joy to eat thanks to the contrasting textures—soft, crisp, and creamy.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Sieve (for washing quinoa)
  • Small saucepan
  • Chopping board

Allergen Information

⚠️ Nuts (Almonds)

Instructions

1 ✓

Thoroughly rinse the quinoa in a sieve. Cook in double the amount of salted water for approx. 15 minutes, until the little 'tails' (germs) appear around the seeds.

Tip: Once done, remove from the heat and let it stand covered for 5 minutes so it becomes fluffy in the steam.
2 ✓

Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a dry frying pan until fragrant.

Tip: Be careful, nuts can burn in moments due to their high oil content!
3 ✓

Prepare the dressing: whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

Tip: This is a classic vinaigrette where acid and oil form an emulsion.
4 ✓

Assemble the bowl: place rocket and warm quinoa at the bottom. Arrange the sliced avocado and halved tomatoes beautifully on top.

Tip: Only cut the avocado just before serving, as it oxidises (turns brown) upon contact with air. Lime juice slows this process down.
5 ✓

Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with the toasted almonds and coriander.

Recipe FAQ

Why is quinoa bitter?
Quinoa seeds are coated with a natural protective layer (saponin). This must be thoroughly washed off with hot water before cooking!
