Instructions

Step 1: Spread about ⅓ cup of hummus in the bottom of each serving bowl to create a creamy foundation.
Step 2: Cook the quinoa or couscous according to package instructions. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly before adding to the bowl.
Step 3: Divide the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion evenly among the bowls, arranging them on top of the hummus base.
Step 4: Place your chosen protein (falafel, grilled chicken, or tofu) on top of the vegetables in each bowl.
Step 5: Add olives and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese if using. For extra crunch, you can also add roasted chickpeas.
Step 6: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Adjust the thickness with water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 7: Drizzle olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice over each bowl. Sprinkle with za’atar or paprika and fresh parsley or mint. Drizzle with the tahini lemon dressing just before serving.
