Health, when done right, isn’t about restriction — it’s about celebration. The Mediterranean Power Bowl proves that nourishment can be both vibrant and delicious. It’s a bowl full of life: grains, greens, proteins, and a drizzle of lemon-tahini that ties everything together like a symphony.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked and fluffed
- 1 cup chickpeas, roasted
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup Kalamata olives
- ½ cup feta cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh parsley
Tahini Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- Water to thin
- Salt and pepper
How to Build It:
- Start with a warm bed of quinoa. It’s the foundation — earthy, nutty, and satisfying.
- Add your chickpeas, golden from the oven, with that irresistible crunch.
- Then layer freshness: cucumber, tomatoes, avocado.
- Scatter olives and feta — a salty balance that sings.
- Drizzle your dressing — tangy, nutty, a touch sweet.
Every bite is alive: the crisp of cucumber, the cream of avocado, the tang of lemon. It’s a reminder that health isn’t bland; it’s color, texture, and joy in harmony.
