Easy Falafel Greek Bowl

Is anyone else super obsessed with Mediterranean/Greek meals? I think they are so easy, fresh, and quick to throw together. One of my favorite things is meals that are very versatile and you can throw anything in. These falafel bowls are definitely one of those meals - add in any sort of veggies, olives, etc. as you please!!

In terms of protein, I chose to use falafel since I had a box mix from Trader Joe's in my pantry. You could also use chicken, lamb, beef, or any meat of your choosing.

Servings: 4 bowls

Total Time: 45 minutes - 1 hour

Ingredients:

Bowls:

• 1.5 cups brown rice

• romaine lettuce

• 1/2 diced cucumber

• 1 cup chopped grape tomatoes

• falafel mix (I used Trader Joe's boxed mix)

• olive oil

• dill for topping

Tzatziki Sauce:

• 1 cup greek yogurt

• juice of 1/2 fresh lemon

• 1/4 cup finely diced cucumber

• 1/2 tbsp. dill

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Cut cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce and divide into 4 large bowls

2. Prepare falafel according to box instructions

3. While falafel is baking, prepare brown rice by boiling 3 cups water and adding rice in. Cook for 25-35 minutes until all water is absorbed

4. While the falafel & brown rice are cooking, prepare tzatziki sauce. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until well combined. Season with salt to taste

5. Once falafel & rice are finished, divide into the 4 bowls and top with tzatiki sauce. Finish with fresh dill

Hope you enjoy!
