Recipe Notes:
Recipe Tips:
- Make it dairy-free: Swap tzatziki and feta for dairy-free versions or use hummus.
- Add crunch: Sprinkle roasted chickpeas, pine nuts, or pepitas.
- Use what you have: Any cooked grain (brown rice, farro, couscous) works.
- Store smart: Keep greens and tzatziki separate until serving.
- Make it your own: Add roasted peppers, avocado, or fresh herbs.
- Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days.
- Keep tzatziki and greens separate to prevent sogginess.
- Reheat quinoa or chickpeas slightly before serving.
