Bountiful Roasted Vegetable Bowl with Almond-Lemon Dressing

I was tempted to call this a buddha bowl, but I have no clue what that means. It's quite common to see "buddha bowls" in the vegan community, yet I can't help but feel like I'm appropriating Buddhist religion when I use that expression. 

This dish is super tasty. And, oh so, nutritutious. Roasted veggies can't be beat in my opinion! It's hard not to eat the roasted veggies right off the baking sheet.

There is a lot of slicing and dicing involved with this dish, but it's worth it. You'll definitely feel satisfied after eating this bowl of goodness. You can never go wrong with rice, either!
