1 English cucumber, quartered and chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (dill or parsley)
For the Greek Dressing / Marinade:
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried minced onion or 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon honey or granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Black pepper, to taste
For the Cauliflower Rice:
4 cups frozen riced cauliflower
1–2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch dried oregano
Fresh lemon juice, to taste
Instructions
1. Make the Greek Dressing / Marinade
-
Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (or sugar), garlic, dried oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a jar.
-
Shake well until fully combined. This will serve as both your marinade and a finishing dressing for the bowl.
2. Marinate and Grill the Chicken
-
Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag and add 1/3 cup of the dressing. Add extra salt and pepper, seal the bag, and massage to coat evenly.
-
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to a few hours.
-
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
-
Grill chicken until charred on the outside and fully cooked inside, about 5–7 minutes per side depending on thickness.
-
Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
3. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Add frozen riced cauliflower, season with garlic salt, black pepper, and oregano.
-
Sauté for 5 minutes or until tender.
-
Finish with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice.
4. Assemble the Bowls
-
Divide cauliflower rice among four bowls as a base.
-
Top with sliced grilled chicken, chopped cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta.
-
Add a dollop of tzatziki and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
-
Drizzle extra Greek dressing over the top and serve immediately, or refrigerate for a chilled meal prep option.
Notes
- Tzatziki: Store-bought vegan versions work well if you want a quicker option.
- Chicken: You can grill outdoors or in a pan. Avoid spooning marinade over chicken on an open flame to prevent flare-ups.
- Meal Prep: These bowls last 3–4 days in the refrigerator if stored in airtight containers.
