Sesame Ginger Mushroom Buddha Bowl (recipe)

Food is medicine if it's mushrooms.

What makes a great bowl? Really anything that speaks to us, most often over whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, or sweet potatoes, yams, leafy greens, and an assortment of vegetables.

Add plant-based proteins, healthy fats like nuts, seeds, virgin olive oil hummus, or avocado, and a delicious dressing to wrap up all the flavors!

We are only limited by our imaginations and guided by our taste buds. Trend-spotters have named mushrooms one of the “it” vegetables of the year, so it would be tasty and totally on point to include a variety (shitake, portabella, button) in a bowl.

Sesame Ginger Dressing & Marinade, with its fresh ginger and light gluten-free soy, maximizes the flavors of roasted mushrooms. It is the delicious finishing touch drizzled on top of the bowl.

In addition to mushrooms, a Sesame Ginger Mushroom Buddha Bowl features spinach, carrots, cauliflower, broccolini, and avocado. Feel free to omit or swap in any favorite items.

Use bits of fresh vegetables and cooked leftovers in the fridge. But if the produce drawer is bare, it’s economical to toss in just a little of “this” and a little of “that” by hitting the salad bar. More
