    Buddha bowls are the easiest meals to customize and make your own. As long as you have a grain, a protein and a green...you're good to go.

    The rest is where you get to be creative.

    For this bowl, I really wanted to focus on an interesting and different dressing. And that's where the salsa verde vinaigrette comes in. This dressing requires 4 ingredients and about 30 seconds. But the flavor is just...WOW.

    There's nothing better than getting a ton of flavor with minimal effort. It just makes me so happy inside.

    Now that we have the flavor taken care of, we can focus on the add-ons. I LOVE cilantro. I know it's not for everyone. But if you like it, this is the bowl to add it to. Another thing I love is spice. I added serrano peppers to give this bowl a real kick. But feel free to leave them out if spice isn't your thing.

    Again, you get to be creative here - so have fun!
