We pile our favorite gyro fixin’s into nutritious quinoa bowls. Our local gyro guy has a cool but spicy sauce that transforms his sandwiches. It’s a must here, too. —Leah Lyon, Ada, Oklahoma

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons water, divided
3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 tablespoons reduced-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Sriracha chili sauce
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
1 medium cucumber, seeded and diced
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon Greek seasoning
1 package (6 ounces) ready-to-use grilled chicken breast strips

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring 1-1/2 cups water to a boil. Add quinoa. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed, 12-15 minutes.

For dressing, place remaining water, yogurt, mayonnaise, chili sauce and cheese in a small food processor or blender. Cover; process until blended.
In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse cooked quinoa with cold water; drain well. In a bowl, toss quinoa with cucumber, parsley, green onions, oil, lemon juice and Greek seasoning. Top with chicken, tomato and dressing.
