- While the rice is cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, chop the lettuce, slice the cucumber, slice the tomatoes, and slice the black olives.

Notes
I prefer to pack my bowls with veggies but feel free to reduce the quantity if it’s too much for you.
The ingredients are suggestions based on nutritional facts, add as much to the bowl as you want.
Nutrition facts are based on white rice, therefore they will be different based on what grain you use.
