Notes
Feel free to customize your bowl with other Mediterranean-inspired ingredients like chickpeas, roasted vegetables, or a different lean protein source. For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with roasted chickpeas or grilled halloumi. This bowl is also great for meal prepping; simply store the dressing separately and add it just before serving to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.
