    Easy Teriyaki Chickpea Avocado Buddha Bowl FI

    This Teriyaki Chickpea Avocado Buddha Bowl is loaded with roasted and fresh veggies, teriyaki chickpeas, and dressed with one of those two great sauces: Teriyaki Sauce or Lemon Tahini Dressing.

    It’s ages since I last made this delicious Teriyaki Chickpea Avocado Buddha Bowl and was kind of missing it. So, I made it again this week and thought it would be a good idea to share it with you.

    This is a hearty and nutritious meal full of simple ingredients with tons of flavour. Colourful veggies, protein-packed chickpeas and everyones favourite healthy fat: the avocado! This salad makes a great weekday lunch or dinner, and it will definitely satisfy vegans and meat-eaters alike!

    How to make Teriyaki Sauce

    I love homemade teriyaki sauce! It can’t be more simpler and there are lots of dishes you can make with this versatile sauce. And it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare.

    First, combine all the ingredients into a small saucepan, starting with the wet ingredients: water and soy sauce. Then, you have to add the sugar, garlic, ginger, vinegar, and stir until well mixed. Slowly bring to a simmer on low boil for 5 minutes.

    In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon and whisk until dissolved and pour into the saucepan. Let the sauce cook a bit more or until glossy and slightly thickened. Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.

    How to make Lemon Tahini Dressing

    Another one of my favorite dressings, perfect for this Teriyaki Chickpea Avocado Buddha Bowl or any veggie salad you love. 

    Making this sauce is as simple as adding all the ingredients in a small bowl, whisking them together, and, if needed, adjusting consistency by adding more tahini or water.

      It’s so hard to choose between the teriyaki sauce and the tahini sauce! I’m thinking of doing halfsies just to try them both. It looks delicious!

      I love all the ingredients in this buddah bowl, particularly the chickpeas. I don’t normally add them to salads but it’s actually a great and very healthy idea!

        Hi, Jacqueline! Yes, it is. Chickpeas are very high on proteins, I use them a lot since I don’t eat meat.
