Tzatziki Quinoa Bowls
Have you ever considered using tzatziki as salad dressing?! It is such a good addition to bowls and salads! So much flavour and although it's pretty easy to make at home, this is one product I don't mind taking a shortcut and picking up at the store. Once you cook the quinoa and quickly sauté the chickpeas, everything else comes together quickly. As always, remember to add lettuce to your bowls at the very top! Then once it's lunchtime, give the container a good shake and voilà, a tasty, flavourful and healthy lunch!
