Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 bell pepper, diced

- 1 package Italian sausage of choice, sliced (I like True Story Foods Italian Chicken Sausage)
- 1 package microwaveable rice of choice OR 2 cups cooked rice/quinoa
- 1 cup tzatziki (see notes for a homemade version)
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- salt and pepper to taste, if desired
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot add the pepper and zucchini and saute for about 5 minutes.
- Then, add the sausage and cook until browned, about 5-8 additional minutes.
- Cook your rice according to package directions.
- To serve, top the rice with sausage and veggies, a good dollop of tzatziki, and about 1/4 cup of the cucumbers.
- To meal prep, assemble everything but don’t add the tzatziki. Add when you’re ready to eat and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Notes
- You can customize this and substitute based on the veggies you have in your fridge
- Hummus and/or fresh herbs make a nice addition here, as well
