Rainbow Buddha Bowl with Tangy Tahini Dressing

It’s easy to eat a rainbow of vegies when you arrange them on the plate beautifully! Not too heavy, not too light, this is the kind of food to get you in the mood on a romantic evening. Mix up the vegies to include your favourites: pumpkin, spinach, kidney beans, capsicum and many more all work well. Add some fresh chilli to the dressing if you want a spicy kick.
