Here’s a recipe that I absolutely love, and I hope you will too! Mediterranean food is the best–both delicious and incredibly healthy. The combination of flavors in this Mediterranean Buddha bowl really makes this dish a winner. I love pesto too, so that doesn’t hurt either.
If you want to make this bowl vegan, just eliminate the feta cheese, or use a non-dairy cheese substitute. We also have two pesto recipes you can try, with and without dairy, if you aren’t buying store-bought.

You’ll need a vegetable spiralizer for this recipe, so if you don’t have one, check out this best-seller on Amazon. They’re inexpensive, and worth the small investment!
