Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
  2. While the quinoa cooks, take a large bowl and add a generous layer of fresh mixed greens. This colorful base will provide a crisp contrast to the warm ingredients. Ensure the greens are washed and dried for a satisfying crunch.
  3. Once the quinoa is ready and has cooled slightly, fluff it with a fork and pile it over the mixed greens. Next, artfully arrange the cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, shredded carrots, diced cucumber, and chickpeas on top of the quinoa.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of tahini with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, adding salt and pepper to taste. Gradually add water until you reach your desired thickness.
  5. Drizzle the freshly made tahini sauce generously over the assembled Buddha Bowl, ensuring every colorful layer is coated. Serve immediately.
