Step 1

The Batch Prep (The "Throw Together" Base): Mix all of these ingredients together in a large meal-prep container to keep in the fridge.

Step 2

Prep the Base: Toss the rinsed chickpeas, seared tempeh cubes, diced tomato, and diced cucumber together in a large bowl.

Step 3

Dress It: Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper together, then pour it over the batch base and mix well so everything is coated. Store this in the fridge.

Step 4

Per Bowl Additions (Add Fresh When Serving): Scoop out your desired portion of the dressed salad base into your lunch bowl.

Step 5

Build Your Bowl: Top it with exactly 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and 1/8 cup of crumbled feta. Give it a quick swirl so the cottage cheese melts into that bright lemon dressing.
