This is first Buddha bowl in the summer Buddha bowl series. This is also summer Buddha bowl vegan which means that I am using summer vegetables.
My diet is mostly vegetarian, but I would like to eat plant based or vegan at least two times per week. And filling hummus Buddha bowl like this sounds perfect to me!
For this roasted cauliflower Buddha bowl you can use broccoli instead or any other vegetable you like to roast or grill.
Turmeric is healthy and gives a beautiful color to any food which is why I use it often. So, this is also turmeric cauliflower buddha bowl.
For this vegan cauliflower buddha bowl to garnis I like to use tomato, almonds and arugula. In late summer/beginning of autumn pomegratate is my first choice!
