One of my favourite fall dishes. It was created because these are simply all my favourite foods in one salad.
This sweet potato pomegranate is a great crowd pleasing side dish to bring to a party, loved by all vegans and non-vegans. Further, it makes a great left over lunch.
Buddha bowl:
Add protein such as chickpeas, lentils or frozen edamame to make this a colourful and nourish power bowl. I also have added sprouts and additional veggies such as cucumber and sweet pepper.
