Amazing Mediterranean Bowl

This Amazing Mediterranean Bowl was inspired by a dinner I made with my friend Hannah while visiting Columbia one weekend. I’ve made a few tweaks, but every time I make this bowl I think of her. 🙂 I’ve been having it for my lunches this week, so I had to share. It’s super easy to make and soo yummy!
