Greek Bowl from HYPE

(Makes 4 bowls)

Make all individual components, then assemble. Directions for assembling bowl at the end.

Lemon Tahini Dressing

3/4 cup water

1/2 cup canola oil

1/4 cup tahini

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 Tablespoon onion powder

2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons agave nectar

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Place all the dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside or store in fridge. Extra dressing is tasty on salads and sandwiches.

Greek Marinated Tofu

1/3 cup olive oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 Tablespoon dried oregano

1 Tablespoon garlic powder

1/2 Tablespoon onion powder

1/2 Tablespoon dried dill

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 block firm tofu, drained/pressed

Place all ingredients except tofu in a blender and pulse. Do not make into a smooth or emulsified dressing. Just pulse to combine.

     Cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 5 days in the fridge.

Greek Onions

1 large red onion, sliced in half-moons

1 Tablespoons olive oil

Salt/pepper to taste

Sauté onions in oil, covered, about 4-6 minutes over medium heat until softened and sweating, but don’t caramelize. Set aside.

Roasted Tomatoes

1 cup baby tomatoes

1 Tablespoons olive oil

Salt/pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss tomatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out tomatoes. Roast at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes, until blistered and softened.

To assemble bowls

1 cup quartered artichoke hearts, jarred variety

2 cups prepared couscous

4 cups spinach or your favorite salad greens

Make couscous according to package directions. For 4 bowls, you will need two cups of prepared, fluffed couscous. For a gluten-free alternative, use prepared brown rice or quinoa.

Layer 1 cup spinach in each bowl and top with 1/2 cup couscous. Artfully arrange 1/4 cup artichokes, 1/4 cup Roasted Tomatoes, 1/4 cup Greek Onions, several cubes of Greek Marinated Tofu, and pour on desired amount of Lemon Tahini Dressing. Serve immediately.
