Mediterranean Bowl Recipe
Hey everyone! Today, I'm sharing some fantastic tips on how to make a delicious and healthy Mediterranean Bowl. This dish is not only packed with flavor but also loaded with nutritious ingredients. Let's dive in!
Ingredients:
• Base: Quinoa, rice, cooked barley, greens or couscous
• Proteins: Grilled chicken, falafel, or hummus
• Vegetables: Cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, bell peppers, and olives
• Healthy Fats: Avocado slices, feta cheese
• Garnishes: Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or mint and a squeeze of lemon
Steps:
1. Prepare the Base: Cook your quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. If you prefer a lighter option, go with a bed of mixed greens.
2. Cook the Proteins: Grill your chicken or prepare your falafel. If you're using chickpeas, simply rinse and drain them, then lightly sauté with some olive oil and spices.
3. Chop the Veggies: Dice the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and bell peppers. Slice the olives in half.
4. Assemble the Bowl: Start with the base, add the proteins, and then pile on the veggies.
5. Add Healthy Fats: Garnish your bowl with avocado slices, a sprinkle of feta cheese, or a drizzle of tahini.
6. Finish with Garnishes: Top off your bowl with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Pro Tips:
• Marinate Your Proteins: For extra flavor, marinate your grilled chicken or falafel in a blend of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Mediterranean spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
• Mix & Match: Feel free to customize your bowl with your favorite vegetables and proteins. The Mediterranean diet is all about variety and balance!
• Homemade Dressings: Elevate your bowl with a homemade dressing. A simple mix of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and za'atar can do wonders.
There you have it! A delicious Mediterranean Bowl that's perfect for a wholesome meal. If you try it out, let me know how it turns out in the comments below. Enjoy!
