Servings: 2 large bowls

Ingredients 

Hummus Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas 15 oz can strained & rinsed, ideally outer skins removed
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons ice-cold water
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt add more or less as desired
  • 2-3 ice cubes for extra fluffy hummus

Bowl Ingredients:

  • cup homemade hummus *made above
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • ½ cup spinach
  • ½ cup sliced English cucumber
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • ¼ cup sliced green olives
  • ¼ cup greek dressing
  • ¼ cup pickled red onions
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh dill optional

Instructions

  • First, make the quinoa according to the package instructions and set aside. I like to make the quinoa and pickled red onions the day before so I have them for various meals throughout the week.
  • To make the hummus, add the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, ice-cold water, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to a blender or food processor. Blend together until almost smooth. Then, add in 2-3 ice cubes and continue blending until the hummus is smooth and fluffy.
  • Next, prep the hummus bowl veggies by slicing the cucumbers, green olives, and cherry tomatoes.
  • Then, assemble the bowls. Start by adding half of the spinach, cooked quinoa, and hummus to the bottom of each bowl as a base. Then, top with the sliced cucumbers, sliced green olives, cherry tomatoes, and pickled red onions.
  • As a final step, top each bowl with 1-2 Tablespoons of dressing and 1 Tablespoon of freshly chopped Dill. Serve alongside fresh pita bread or naan to enjoy!

Notes

  • You will have leftover hummus as not all of it is needed for two hummus bowls. Hummus can be stored in a closed container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
  • All bowl ingredients are best stored in individual containers and will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. The one exception is pickled onions which can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
