  • Yield: 4 bowls 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Bowls (Serves 4):

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa (or ~3 cups cooked)
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup vegan feta, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
  • 1/2 cup hummus (2 tbsp per bowl)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or mint (for garnish)

    For the Lemon-Herb Dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or 1/2 tsp za’atar)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Quinoa
    Rinse 1 cup quinoa under cold water. Add to a saucepan with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
  2. Prep the Veggies
    While quinoa cools, chop the cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and artichoke hearts. Slice the red onion (if using) and crumble the vegan feta.

  3. Make the Dressing
    In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, oregano or za’atar, and salt and pepper.

  4. Assemble the Bowls
    Divide the quinoa between 4 bowls. Top each with cucumber, tomatoes, olives, artichokes, vegan feta, and red onion.

  5. Add Hummus
    Spoon about 2 tablespoons of hummus into each bowl—either on top or swirled onto the side.

  6. Dress and Garnish
    Drizzle with dressing, then sprinkle with chopped parsley or mint just before serving.
