2 cups boiled chickpeas
2 grilled chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 cup microgreens
1 cup Greek yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a creamy dressing.
- In four bowls, layer the cooked quinoa as the base.
- Arrange the cherry tomatoes, diced avocados, shredded beetroots, boiled chickpeas, and sliced grilled chicken breasts in sections over the quinoa.
- Top each bowl with a handful of microgreens.
- Drizzle the lemon-yogurt dressing over the assembled ingredients.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Notes
This bowl is customizable—add roasted sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, or other vegetables of choice.
For a vegan version, substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh and use dairy-free yogurt for the dressing.
Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate until ready to serve.
