Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl (Recipe)

Ingredients

Roasted Chickpeas

1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (Kasadrinos **FREE Bottle**)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Quinoa

⅔ cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained (makes 2 cups cooked)

Tzatziki Dressing

1 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice (1 lemon)
2 tablespoons chopped dill
1 garlic clove
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup diced English cucumber

Salad + Assembly

2 large handfuls spinach (or kale)
2 Persian cucumbers, sliced
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
½ cup pitted kalamata olives
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup traditional hummus

Instructions

1. ROAST CHICKPEAS: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Drain and rinse chickpeas from their can, then scatter onto prepared baking sheet. Allow the chickpeas to air dry for 5 minutes. Toss with olive oil, Italian seasoning, and salt. Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing once in between, until chickpeas are golden brown and crispy; set aside.

2. COOK QUINOA: Place rinsed quinoa in small pot with 1 and ⅓ cups water or broth. Allow pot to come to a boil, then reduce to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until quinoa water has gone. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

3. MAKE DRESSING: In small food processor or blender, blend together all ingredients except for diced cucumber. Once ingredients are combined, stir in diced cucumbers with spoon. (If using already minced garlic you can just whisk together ingredients by hand.)

4. ASSEMBLE BOWLS: In 2 medium bowls, evenly distribute greens, cooked quinoa, sliced cucumber, red onions, grape tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, hummus, and roasted chickpeas. Drizzle with tzatziki dressing. Enjoy!

Enjoy!!!
