Chef's Tip

For extra protein, add a soft-boiled egg or crumbled feta cheese. Swap tuna for canned salmon or chickpeas for variety. Add a pinch of dried oregano or za'atar for extra Mediterranean flavor.

Storage

Prep all ingredients and store separately for up to 3 days. Assemble just before eating to keep everything fresh. Dressed bowls are best eaten within 24 hours.
