Hey, hey! Happy Monday! I have delicious Salmon Souvlaki Bowls for you today. They are so easy and healthy for you too!
You guys! So excited for today, but also kind of nervous! I have a big video shoot this week and basically my nerves are beyond me at the moment. YIKES!
WATCH THE HOW-TO VIDEO HERE:
Soo, speaking of nerves, I’ve got to know, how on Earth do you guys handle being anxious? A lot of times, if I am really anxious, my poor mom will get the brunt of it. Unfortunately, I seem to take all my stresses out on her. BUT then she talks me through things and I feel like a million and one times better…or at least I try to do that! Currently, I’m just telling myself that what I am feeling is excitement for the big week I have. Hoping that trumps all the anxious bones in my body. Fake it till you make it, right?
That’s currently what I’m sticking too. Also, I’m trying to act like I know what I am doing in front of the camera, but let’s be real, I totally don’t! Hey, at least I have snapchat for practice! Although, someone pointed out on Saturday that I should probably not play with my hair soo much…oooopppsss. It’s those dang nerves! ?
Note to self, no playing with hair. Got it, get it good.
OK. ?
Um, OOK so can we talk about this recipe, now? Because not only is it super pretty, but is delish and SO healthy. Perfect for a Monday meal, right?!? Plus, we mat or may not be doing some serious cheeses things later this week…it is going to be good. BUT, lets focus on today!
Today we’re making salmon souvlaki bowls!! YES. They are going to be sooo good!
Soo these bowls are super healthy, crazy fast, and insanely delicious!
A while back, I made souvlaki gyros, and those were pretty much everything. But seeing as I am obsessed with all things “bowl” lately, I thought I would give that recipe a little twist!
Alright, so here’s how this goes…
…you want to start with either couscous or farro. You could probably also use quinoa, and or brown rice, but I personally love couscous or farro…very mediterranean.
…next up, the salmon! Oh my gosh, this is sooo good, it’s just a simple marinade made up of plenty of oregano and garlic, but again, it is delish!
…from there we move on to our veggies! Grilled bell pepper, zucchini, heirloom cherry tomatoes + Persian cucumbers. Yum!
…finish these bowls off with some cubes of feta cheese and homemade avocado Tzatziki.
…oops, almost forgot those kalamata olives, yes, those are a must!!
OK and that’s your bowl. Kind of packed, right? Just the way I like it! Yes, please!
And that’s it from me today! If you want to hang out with me in real-time today, check out the behind the scenes on snapchat (username: hbharvest) AND the Food Network Facebook page as I am doing some Facebook Live video. YEAH!
Have a great Monday guys!

PS. you should totally add naan to this bowl…Â YESSS.
This looks sooo good! I love the pictures! Would you really classify couscous as healthy? I’m never really sure as it is wheat and not a whole-grain. I agree it’s yummy though 🙂
Umm… YUMMM!!! So many of my favorite flavors in this dish! As for the anxiety, I find that the fake it till you make it method usually works for me 🙂 you’ll do great!
Thanks Rachel!!
Hi! Thanks for your great recipes–I’ve used several with great success. As to stress–raise your arms while breathing in deeply, and then whoosh it out while bending down from the waist. This is a yoga move that really helps reduce stress.

Thanks Jessica!! Hope you get to try!!
Can’t eat fish or seafood so I’m picturing this fresh looking dish with chicken.
Exactly what my brother said! Haha! Would be delish with chicken!
These are incredible! You’re going to kill it today, can’t wait to see 🙂 I have lived with anxiety all my life, but a few natural things I’ve found that really help is lavender oil pills called Lavela, and lemon balm extract! The lavender pills have been studied to be more effective than pharmaceutical anti-anxiety drugs and as a bonus they help you sleep! The lemon balm extract comes in a little dropper from Whole Foods and it works almost immediately
Thank you! Those all sounds amazing! I seriously might need to try some! The lavender sounds amazing!!
This looks soooo good, I can’t wait to give it a go!
Thanks Amy hope you love the bowl!
