    Greek Salad Bowl

    Even though we do eat meat, I am a fan of meatless Monday’s and also prefer to limit my meat consumption where possible. Some of my favorite meals consist of a bowl, some type of protein, a crap ton of veggies, and a sauce or dressing to throw in some flavor. Food is so much better in a bowl, wouldn’t you agree!?

    These Greek salad bowls have quickly become a favorite in our house. Start with a combo of Greek inspired veggies, like peppers, cucumbers, and onions, and roasted chickpeas and you’re well on your way to this amazing bowl! And let’s not forget about my favorite Kalamata olives and also a super easy lemon vinaigrette to drizzle on top. These are easy for meal prepping and if you double the batch you’re sure to have leftovers, which is a must for us.

    Chickpea Fun Fact!
    Chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) are a great way to add in some protein to your meal or diet if you are skipping on the meat. They are good for your digestive health as they are full of fiber. Real food tip: Be sure to read the label and ensure your chickpeas/garbanzo beans only contain chickpeas and possibly water and salt.

    Notes

    I recommend all organic ingredients when possible. You can however skip on the organic avocadoes since you don't eat the outside of this super food!
