A buddha bowl is such a tasty option for a quick but healthy and nutritionally balanced dish. There’s such a colorful variety of ingredients you can bring to the table too. The key to bringing it all together is having a delicious yet simple, dressing on hand.

This green dressing is one of our favourites and you can whizz it up in a matter of minutes using a hand blender, mini chopper or NutriBullet.
