Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups fresh kale or baby spinach
  • 1 medium English cucumber, sliced
  • 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or tahini
  • 1 cup total fresh parsley, basil, and chives
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Garlic, salt, and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook the grains according to the package instructions and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the chickpeas with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for about 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Prepare the Green Goddess dressing by blending Greek yogurt (or tahini), fresh herbs, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust consistency with water if needed.
  4. Slice the cucumber and avocado. If using kale, remove tough ribs and chop leaves, then massage with olive oil and salt.
  5. Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked grains, adding greens, cucumber, roasted chickpeas, and avocado. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently before serving.

Notes

For meal prep, store components separately to keep vegetables crisp. Use fresh herbs for the dressing and ensure avocado is ripe for the best texture.
