Mediterranean Style Bowl

Layer in large salad or pasta bowl
Bed of lettuce – I used spinach
Cherry tomatoes, halved – approximately 6-8 tomatoes
1/4 Cup quinoa or brown rice, cooled
2 Grilled chicken strips, chopped or sliced
1 Tablespoon feta cheese

Drizzle with 1-2 Tablespoons vinaigrette dressing – I combined olive oil (approximately 4 Tablespoons), lime juice from 1/2 lime, 2 basil leaves chopped, 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed. Mix until combined.
