We made them over for brunch a few days back and were blown away by the flavors and the fact of how easy it is to put them together.

It all started with a variety of S&W Beans that I received a few days back and I’ve never seen so much variety of beans ever…..

It had the classic beans like white beans, garbanzo beans, pinto beans, etc to organic and 50% low sodium beans to white bean chili, and kidney beans in onion mix….Oh, My Gosh…I’m in beans heaven!!

So with so many varieties in hand, I had to start with a simple, healthy meal that’s filled with flavor and ease.

After trying a couple of these different kinds of bowls outside, I decided to make one for us as what’s better than meals made at home?

And the sweetest part, is there’s hardly any cooking involved (except cooking rice).

So, for our first Buddha Bowl, I chose the organic garbanzo beans from S&W Beans and the veggies we love eating raw these bowls are so easy to assemble and the possibilities of ingredients are endless.

Although I chose brown rice, you can choose any grain of choice, and same goes for the veggies.

Since it’s a Mediterranean Buddha Bowl, I’m using a lot of cucumbers, fresh lime juice, feta cheese, and mint.  How to make Mediterranean Buddha Bowl Now, coming to the dressing, it’s as easy as can be BUT absolutely power-packed with tahini, yogurt (choose vegan if need be), and lime.

Once you have all your ingredients, just pulse the mint dressing ingredients together to form a smooth (slightly runny) dressing and chop all the other veggies into bite-size pieces.

Then gather a bowl (any size you like) and assemble everything together, drizzle with mint dressing, and sprinkle some chopped pecans, and feta.

And you have yourself a Mediterranean Buddha Bowl with Mint Dressing which only takes 5 minutes to make.  easy buddha bowl recipe

So go ahead and make yourself this delicious bowl of goodness and use S&W Beans as nobody does beans better and choosy cooks know it.
