Sarah’s Tips:

  • Make it a bowl: Serve over quinoa, cauliflower rice, or leafy greens.

  • No feta? Use dairy-free cheese or a spoonful of hummus on top.

  • Meal prep win: Make a double batch and use leftovers for wraps or salad toppers.

  • Add crunch: Top with pine nuts or chopped almonds for texture.
