Looking for an easy, delicious, and filling prep ahead meal? This Mediterranean grain bowl is your answer! I love making grain bowls because they are so easy to make and prep ahead. There are so many varieties but the flavors in todays bowl are Mediterranean inspired, using simple ingredients like cauliflower, roasted red pepper, and tahini sauce. All you need for a grain bowl or grain salad is your choice of grains, veggies, and sauce/dressing.

The recipe below is dairy free and meat free, but feta cheese and/or chicken are also delicious additions to the meal! Another optional addition is toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds - so yummy.
