This Greek bowl makes such a great vegan meal! It’s loaded with crunchy lettuce, tomatoes, crispy vegan chicken, potato wedges, and delicious homemade tzatziki. Super comforting and pretty healthy at the same time!
Why This Recipe Works
This vegan Greek bowl means pure comfort food for me! I just love the combination of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, crispy potatoes, and Greek-style seasoned vegan chicken strips.
And the homemade vegan tzatziki perfectly rounds everything off. It’s super refreshing and very easy to make. And it’s perfect for everyone who loves garlic as much as I do!
All in all, the recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. While the potatoes are in the oven, you can pan-fry the vegan chicken strips until crispy, make the tzatziki, and cut up the vegetables. When I’m short on time, I cut up the salad ingredients the night before and store them in airtight containers in the fridge.
I used store-bought vegan feta for this recipe. It’s optional, but I think it goes really well with the rest of the ingredients. It took me quite a while to find a delicious store-bought vegan feta alternative. If you want, you could also use my homemade vegan feta that is made with tofu.
Besides, I used soy-based vegan chicken strips and pan-fried them until they were super crispy. If you’re not a fan of meat alternatives, you can use roasted chickpeas instead, which are also a great source of plant-based protein.
I absolutely love to make this dish in the summer, but it’s delicious the whole year round!
