Vegan Chicken Veggie Bowls
Today I am sharing what is a typical lunch / dinner kind of thing around here - our Buffalo ranch veggie bowls.
I could literally eat a variation of a quinoa and veggie bowl every. dang. day.
It definitely fits in my theme of eating bright flavors and vibrant colors.
Fresh.
This tasty veggie bowl has a bunch of textures going on, with the flavors of:
- The best cool ranch dressing
- Crisp crunchy raw carrot matchsticks
- Tangy vegan buffalo chicken, shaped into balls instead of "wings"
- Creamy cool avocado
- Our flavorful favorite Ginger lime Brussels sprouts
- Savory sautéed shallots and mushrooms
- Quinoa cooked in veggie broth
Look at that sunshine!
seriously - every day.
is there a food or dish that you could eat every day?

Buffalo Ranch Veggie Bowl
This recipe has layers of flavor and texture - raw, roasted, and pan fried veggies over quinoa and vegan buffalo chicken - savory and satisfying!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 shallot, peeled and diced
- ½ pint fresh crimini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 1 fresh carrot, scrubbed and sliced into matchsticks
- ½ half avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
- 6 Vegan Buffalo Chicken Wings
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 ½ cups Ginger Lime Brussels Sprouts
- 4 tablespoons Celery Ranch Dressing
Instructions
- This recipe is really an assembly of a couple different recipes - some prior work involved, but everything is easily finished within an hour.
- Cook the quinoa. Use part of the quinoa to make the vegan chicken wings, and roast the Brussels sprouts at the same time.
- The Cool Celery Ranch comes together in minutes, and the rest of the veggies can be prepped while the chicken and Brussels are in the oven!
- In a skillet over medium heat, combine the shallot and mushrooms in sesame oil. Sauté until soft, several minutes.
- To assemble, divide the recipe ingredient amounts into two serving bowls, drizzle the Buffalo Chicken with Celery Ranch Dressing.

Yum! I love quinoa bowls. This looks delicious and perfect for fall. Definitely need to try your celery ranch, too!

Susan says
I love all sorts of bowls, and this one sounds great. Though I would definitely make the spicy buffalo into non-spicy buffalo, because I am a heathen like that. 😉
Kristina Sloggett says
ha - and that is okay, Susan. that's why I like buffalo, it is not all that spicy - just a little. more flavorful than spicy to me... of course my husband LOVES hot, so he adds even more hot sauce...
