Toppings

Method

Prepare the Base

  1. 1

    Cook Brown Rice or Quinoa

    In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of brown rice or quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until water is absorbed and grains are tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Mixed Greens

    Rinse 2 cups of mixed greens under cold water and spin dry in a salad spinner. Set aside in a large serving bowl.

Prepare the Protein

  1. 3

    Grill Chicken Breast

    If using chicken, season 1 cup of grilled chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Slice into strips.

  2. 4

    Prepare Tofu

    Press tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes. Sauté in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 5

    Prepare Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse 1 cup of canned chickpeas. Heat in a small pot over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper.

Prepare the Toppings

  1. 6

    Chop Vegetables

    Chop 1 cup of cherry tomatoes in half, slice 1 whole avocado, and slice 1 whole cucumber into rounds. Set aside.

  2. 7

    Prepare Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. 8

    Build Your Bowl

    In a large bowl, start with your choice of base (either the cooked brown rice, quinoa, or mixed greens). Add your selected protein (grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas), followed by the chopped cherry tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, and feta cheese. Drizzle with the prepared dressing.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Toss gently to combine all ingredients, or leave as is for a more visually appealing presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your customized bowl!
