What You Need for One Bowl

• ½ cup cooked quinoa

• 6–8 cherry tomatoes, halved
• ¼ cup roasted sweet potato cubes
• 4–5 slices of cucumber
• A handful of baby spinach
• 2–3 olives or a sprinkle of feta (optional)
• Olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper

How to Build Your Bowl

1. Cook the quinoa and let it cool fully — cooler grains hold their texture better.
2. Roast the sweet potatoes: toss in olive oil + salt, then roast until soft and slightly caramelized.
3. Prep the fresh elements: slice cucumbers, halve tomatoes, rinse spinach.
4. Assemble: place quinoa on one side of the container, chickpeas and roasted sweet potatoes opposite, then layer tomatoes, cucumbers and spinach.
5. Finish: drizzle olive oil, add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add feta or olives if you like.

This bowl stays colorful, crisp and bright for 3–4 days in the fridge.
