Salat à la Mandala: Buddha Bowl

The fact that we as SanLucar are friends of colourful salad bowls is probably no secret. Ever since we got wind of the latest trend: the Buddha Bowl, we’ve become true lovers of it!

But what exactly is it? In order to make a Buddha Bowl, you don’t need much – just a big bowl into which a lot of fine and healthy things fit. For instance, leafy greens, vegetables, quinoa or dips. They’re not just put into the bowl any way, but are elaborately draped – like a mandala. A good mixture of delicious proteins, carbohydrates and healthy fats are what you get, which looks like something you want to bite into to boot – and makes our salad appetite grow!

In order for you to try out this new trend from the bowl, we have compiled a step-by-step guide for you, which guarantees that your first Buddha Bowl will also be a success. Enjoy yourselves trying this out!

1. Long live the big salad bowl! The bigger it is, the more different ingredients you can put in it!
2. First, the bowl is now prepared with the main ingredient. Leafy vegetables and wild herbs are very suitable for this!
3. And then you can start with the Mandala: Seasonal vegetables such as cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, carrots or radishes not only bring variety into the bowl, but also provide colour!
4. Valuable proteins and healthy carbohydrates must also be included. We are, for example, fans of sweet potatoes, mushrooms, lentils and beans.
5. Also seeds, nuts or avocado as suppliers of delicious, and above all, healthy fats are great. For us, reason enough to take them on board the Buddha Bowl!
6. The best is yet to come: the topping. For this you can, e.g. add olives, dried tomatoes or garden herbs. Our absolute favourite topping is – apart from the dressing – the dip. It’s something like the perfect finish and rounds out the Buddha Bowl taste experience according to the one’s own preferences.
