Method
 

Prepare the Hummus Base

Cook the Grains
  1. Cook the quinoa or couscous according to package instructions. Cool slightly before adding to the bowl.

Add Protein
  1. Place your chosen protein (falafel, grilled chicken, or tofu) on top of the vegetables in each bowl.
Top with Olives and Feta
  1. Add olives and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese, if using. For extra crunch, add roasted chickpeas.
Prepare the Tahini Lemon Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Adjust thickness with water to reach your desired consistency.
Garnish and Serve

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've found that sometimes I don't have feta on hand, and a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts can add a lovely richness and crunch that complements the other flavors
