Chickpea and Zucchini Ranch Rice Bowl
Sautéed vegetables and chickpeas tossed with fluffy white rice and drizzled with a creamy, herb-flecked ranch cottage cheese sauce for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup Cooked white rice
0.75 cup Canned chickpeas
1 cup Zucchini
0.5 cup Red bell pepper
0.25 cup Red onion
1.25 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
1 tsp Olive oil
1 tsp Dried dill
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Lemon juice
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Combine the cottage cheese, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon juice in a high-speed blender and process until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the diced red onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and become fragrant.
Stir in the chopped zucchini and rinsed chickpeas, cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes until the zucchini is tender-crisp and the chickpeas are slightly golden.
Incorporate the leftover white rice into the skillet, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to ensure the rice is heated through and well-mixed with the vegetables.
Season the entire mixture with sea salt and black pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
Transfer the warm rice and vegetable mixture into a large bowl and top generously with the prepared ranch cottage cheese sauce before serving.
