Have you tried our Vegan Tzatziki yet? If not, get to it! We have a Greek-inspired salad bowl to make.
This bowl is inspired by my Vegan Tzatziki and both my Sweet Potato Chickpea Buddha Bowl and Chickpea Quinoa Buddha Bowl.
I wanted to create a Greek- and Mediterranean-Inspired bowl, and this version did the trick. Plus, it’s easy, requiring just 10 ingredients and 30 minutes to make!
The base is my 6-Ingredient Tabbouleh salad, fresh vegetables, and a healthy serving of tzatziki.
Then comes a generous helping of my crispy baked chickpeas, which are seasoned to perfection with my Middle Eastern-inspired DIY Shawarma Spice Blend! The result is smoky, subtly spiced chickpeas that are perfect for topping this gorgeous, nutrient-rich bowl.
At this point, choose your sauce. I think lemon juice and tzatziki are plenty sauce! But if you’re like me, you may want to add some Hummus, Tahini Sauce, Tahini Dressing, or Garlic Dill Sauce. Sauce queen for life.
I hope you all LOVE this bowl! It’s:
Satisfying
Flavorful
Hearty
Fresh
Customizable
Quick + Easy
& Super delicious
This would make the perfect meal to pack along for work or enjoy for dinner when you’re craving something fresh yet satisfying. It’s delicious on its own, but it would also pair well with my Traditional Vegan Falafel, Golden Goddess Turmeric Hummus, Garlic Herb Flatbread or Vegan Naan, or Greek Guacamole!
