These grilled avocado buddha bowls make a delicious lunch for two.

Creamy avocadoes are a perfect match for wild rice, fennel, tomatoes, and cannellini beans. A drizzle of lemon vinaigrette and some chopped almonds on top add a scrumptious finishing touch.

I only discovered grilled avocadoes a few months ago. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they are simply delightful.

For this recipe, I grilled the avocado in a grill-pan but you can also fire up the BBQ. The quantities of this recipe double up easily to transform these avocado buddha bowls into a big salad to serve at a barbecue.

Buddha bowls are quick and easy lunch or dinner option. For a balanced meal, I like to mix grains, pulses, or beans with seasonal vegetables.

I hope you enjoy this grilled avocado buddha bowl recipe as much as I do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
