How To Make The Perfect Mediterranean Bowl


The Perfect Mediterranean Bowl Recipe

Craving a taste of the Mediterranean? These vibrant bowls are all the rage for a reason: they're bursting with fresh flavors, healthy fats, and endless customization options.  This recipe provides a basic framework, but feel free to get creative and build a bowl that reflects your personal preferences.

Ingredients:

  • Chicken

    • Spices for Chicken: 

      • Dried Oregano

      • Smoked Paprika

      • Ground Cumin

      • Ground Coriander 

  • Rice

  • Lettuce / Spinach (Optional, Cava Doupe) 

  • Tomatoes

  • Cucumber

  • Red Onion 

  • Crumbled Feta Cheese

  • Kalamata Olives

  • Tzatziki Sauce (my high-protein recipe)

  • Pita Bread

Instructions:

  1. Cook your protein of choice: This bowl calls for Chicken, but use what you want with the seasoning list

  2. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked rice, lettuce, and/or spinach into bowls. Top with the diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and chicken. 

  3. Dress it Up: Drizzle your favorite sauce, such as a high-protein Tzatziki Sauce (check out my recipe) or hummus. 

  4. Fresh Finish (Optional): Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.
