Fresh Mediterranean quinoa bowl bursting with colorful veggies, creamy feta & ripe avocado, elegantly arranged for a healthy feast

As a busy mom who’s always on the go, I totally get the struggle of wanting something delicious and satisfying without hitting the drive-thru. That’s why I’m super excited to share my absolute favorite Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl recipe that’s literally changed my lunch game forever! Trust me, your taste buds will thank you for this one. 😋

This colorful bowl of goodness is packed with protein, healthy fats, and all the good stuff your body craves. Plus, it’s so Instagram-worthy, you’ll want to snap a pic before diving in!


Here’s what you’ll need (serves 2):
– 1 cup quinoa
– 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cucumber, diced
– 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
– 1 avocado, sliced
– 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
– 1/4 cup kalamata olives
– Handful of fresh mint leaves
– 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
– Juice of 1 lemon
– Salt and pepper to taste

Y’all, let me walk you through this super easy process:

1. First things first, rinse your quinoa (don’t skip this step unless you want bitter-tasting quinoa – been there, done that! 🙈)

1. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Pro tip: I like to use vegetable broth instead of water for extra flavor. Let it cool while you prep the other ingredients.

1. In a large bowl, combine your cooked quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Toss gently.

1. Now for the fun part! Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Give it a good mix.

1. Top with those gorgeous avocado slices, feta cheese, olives, and torn mint leaves.

The best part? This bowl stays fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days (minus the avocado – add that fresh when you’re ready to eat). Perfect for meal prep, am I right? And let’s be honest, it’s way better than that sad desk salad you’ve been having.

You can totally customize this bowl based on what you have in your fridge. Sometimes I throw in some grilled chicken for extra protein, or chickpeas to keep it vegetarian. The possibilities are endless!
