Notes

  • Adjust — This Cava Bowl recipe calls for various seasonings like salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. While these ingredients provide a good base for seasoning, keep in mind that you can always add more ingredients or omit the existing ones according to your taste.
 
  • Omit — As mentioned above, quinoa provides a reliable grain base, but not everyone might like it. There are different Cava Bowl recipes out there, and some don’t include any kind of grain base at all, so feel free to omit this.
