While quinoa cooks, slice cucumbers, halve cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice red onion.

3. Assemble the Bowl

In a shallow bowl, start with a generous scoop of quinoa.

Arrange spinach (or arugula), cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion around the quinoa.

Add a dollop of hummus.

4. Finish & Serve

Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Top with feta, olives, or roasted chickpeas if desired.
