  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. fresh dill or parsley (or dried)

In each bowl, layer the quinoa, greens, roasted chickpeas, chicken (or lentils), and assorted veggies. (You can add other veggies or change the protein.)

Mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, herbs, salt, and pepper for the dressing. You can thin it out with kefir, if desired. Drizzle over each bowl and
