Ingredients

For Tzatziki

1 Package Uno Bites^™ Nano Cucumbers
1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tablespoon Fresh Dill
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Lemon Juiced
½ teaspoon Salt

For the Shrimp

1 lb Shrimp Peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon Salt

For the Bowl

2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Crumbled Feta
2 cups Mixed Greens
1 cup Chopped Kalamata Olives
1 cup Chopped Cherry Tomatoes

Instructions

To Make the Tzatziki

Wash the cucumbers and place them in a food processor. Pulse them until they are shredded. Once they are shredded, place the pieces of cucumber into a clean kitchen towel and drain the cucumbers, getting rid of any excess liquid. Add the cucumbers to a bowl.
Add the yogurt, dill, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and minced garlic to the bowl. Mix well and place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

To Make the Shrimp Bowls

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix together the shrimp, olive oil, and Italian seasoning. Pour the shrimp onto a sheet pan and bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the shrimp is pink.
While the shrimp cooks, add 1 cup of quinoa to a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Place the pot on medium heat and cover. Cook for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy.
While the quinoa and shrimp cook, cut up the Kalamata olives and place them in a bowl. Place the feta in a separate bowl. Slice the Uno Bites^™ cucumbers and add them to a separate bowl. Add some greens to a large bowl.
When the shrimp is cooked, add it to a bowl. To put this bowl together, add 1 cup of mixed greens to each bowl. Top with ½ cup of quinoa, ½ cup of shrimp, ¼ cup of feta cheese, ¼ cup of chopped Uno Bites^™ cucumbers, 2 tablespoons of Tzatziki sauce, and sprinkle with some chopped olives. Enjoy!

Notes

If you want to make this ahead of time, you will want to put it together right at the table. You can make the shrimp and the Tzatziki ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it. You don't want to put the bowl entirely together and let it sit in the refrigerator. That will cause the greens to become mushy and unappetizing.
