Quinoa Chickpea Power Bowl with Lemon-Herb Dressing
Fluffy quinoa and protein-rich chickpeas tossed with crisp garden vegetables and finished with a zesty, herb-infused lemon dressing for a bright and satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup canned chickpeas
1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1.5 tbsp hemp hearts
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cucumber
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure the dressing adheres well.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
In a large serving bowl, create a base with the baby spinach, then add the cooked quinoa and chickpeas on top.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces, adding them to the bowl for a fresh and crisp texture.
Drizzle the lemon-herb yogurt dressing generously over the ingredients and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Finish the bowl by sprinkling the hemp hearts over the top for an extra boost of protein and a subtle nutty flavor.
