Mediterranean Chickpea and Lentil Bowl
Simmered lentils and roasted chickpeas served over a bed of fresh greens with a creamy, zesty lemon-yogurt dressing that adds a refreshing tang to every bite.
INGREDIENTS
1.25 cup cooked green lentils
0.5 cup canned chickpeas
0.5 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp hemp hearts
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cucumber
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
Toss the chickpeas with the olive oil and dried oregano on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until they are golden and slightly crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create a smooth dressing.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces.
Place the baby spinach and warmed green lentils in a large serving bowl as the base.
Top the lentils with the roasted chickpeas, tomatoes, and cucumber.
Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the bowl and sprinkle with hemp hearts before serving.
