Mediterranean Grain Bowl

 

By: Kara Parnell

How is it that a grain bowl manages to be both slapdash, and somehow elegant? How can something that tastes so good and looks so beautiful, be so easily whipped up on a busy weeknight? There's no end to the tasty combinations you can imagine up for a grain bowl. (Stay tuned for more fun and healthy combinations coming to Fresh Box soon.) This Mediterranean Grain Bowl of Goodness is one of our faves! It's got it all! The warm quinoa is a perfect base for the fresh tomato and cucumber, which contrast so well with the creamy chickpeas and feta. The herbs bring it all together and kick the flavour up a notch. Give it a try!
