Greek-Style Nourish Bowl

Packed full of fibre and veggies with a delightful creamy tang from the feta, this Greek-style Nourish bowl is the perfect meal for a summery day.

It's topped with a dollop of homemade Tzatziki to balance every mouthful perfectly.

Bulk it up with added protein such as halloumi or chicken for a main meal, or serve it as a side for a great addition to any bbq (or braai as we would say in Zim).
