June 17, 2022

Today I am sharing one of my favorite recipes to make when I want a quick and healthy lunch. This Mediterranean Bowl is a simple yet flavor-packed meal that is sure to make you feel amazing after! This bowl is filled with greens, chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and red onion. To make it even better, a creamy homemade hummus is generously swirled on top of it all. It’s finished off with some feta and fresh lemon. It takes about 15 minutes to prepare and serves one person. Here’s the recipe!
