Mediterranean Power Bowls
with Chickpeas, Avocado, Hummus & Feta | 2 servings
- Milk
It’s like something out of a horror movie: You’re glued to your screen and, before you know it, lunchtime creeps up and you’ve got nothing to eat! Cue the Janet Leigh Psycho scream. Fear not! The HF chefs are here to save the day with these 10-minute power bowls. Faster and cheaper than take-out, they’re packed with wholesome yet filling ingredients. Chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado add amazing variety and texture to the mixed green salad base. Hummus, a great source of plant-based protein, plays a dual role in the bowls: half is used as a creamy dressing and the rest is dolloped on top with olive oil. Finish the bowls with tangy pops of feta and lemon wedges and you’ve got yourself a blockbuster hit.

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Drain and rinse chickpeas. Halve cucumber lengthwise; slice into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Halve grape tomatoes lengthwise. Halve, pit, and peel avocado; dice into ½-inch pieces. Finely chop chives. Halve lemon.
In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream and half the hummus. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, and half the chives (save the rest for serving). Season with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, toss mixed greens with 1 TBSP olive oil, juice from half the lemon, and half the feta. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Gently fold salad into bowl with chickpea and hummus mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide chickpea mixture between bowls. Dollop remaining hummus in the center; using the back of your spoon, make a small well. Pour a drizzle of olive oil in each well. Season oil with a pinch of salt and pepper. Garnish with remaining feta and remaining chives. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the fresh, Mediterranean flavors; some found it a bit bland and suggested adding olives or extra herbs for more zing 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to assemble, though some noted it took longer than the stated 10 minutes to chop all the vegetables.
- Suggestions: Consider roasting the chickpeas for crunch; add kalamata olives, red onion, or pine nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Portions: Very filling lunch or light dinner; some found it made more than expected, while others wanted more greens.
- Leftovers: Doesn't keep well as a leftover; dressing can make greens soggy if mixed too far in advance.
Reviews from our home cooks
Wow this bowl hit the spot. It is so tasty and has many delicious elements, the crunch of the cucumbers, the flavorful garbanzo beans, the hummus dressing is so tasty and it all just comes together perfectly. Would highly recommend. Would be wonderful as a summer time salad.
Exactly as advertised - fast, easy, and delicious. I was concerned having no protein would make this dish a little light, but the sauce and the hummus with the chickpeas really do a beautiful dance to fill out the bowl nicely. Can't wait to order again.
Easy prep for a delicious meal. Different from what I typically order. The mix of tomatoes, cucumbers, chickpeas & avocado with the hummus & olive oil was very good - I really enjoyed the flavor profile. I was pleased that eating something healthy actually tasted this good. I will hang on to this recipe.
This vegetarian salad bowl is not only healthy, it's packed with flavor enhanced by avocado, red pepper hummus, avocado, and feta cheese. Will definitely order this very tasty and healthy veggie offering again... especially since it was so quick to prepare.
For a Mediterranean 10-min lunch this was enough for 2, without left overs. It was worth the purchase, delicious flavor with the chickpeas, avocado, hummus, feta mixed in. I now love to have this salad as a regular to replace regular boring salads! This was delish!
So quick, so easy, so fresh!! This recipe is definitely a keeper! I added extra spring greens to make the recipe last a little longer, and then waited to add the chickpea mixture atop the greens once I was ready to sit down and eat. SO good!
This is a big favorite and I usually order it every time it is offered. It has the added advantage of being healthy. Do you have any more Mediterranean recipes?
I loved this meal for a power lunch! I even toasted my chickpeas before I tossed them on the salad for a crunch. It was excellent!
The Mediterranean Power Bowl was a true ten-minute lunch, being very easy to make, prepare, and clean up. However, it felt almost too basic. What I enjoy about Hello Fresh is learning new cooking techniques while trying unique delicious flavors, where this tasted like something that I have made before. Maybe because it wasn't too "Mediterranean." Adding olives could help or the herb butter Ciabatta on the side to give it extra specialness.
Loved the combination of flavors. The zing of the lemon set it off. The smokey flavor in the hummus was delicious. Just a bit too much of a good thing with a lot of whole chickpeas and the hummus together.
