Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dry quinoa
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced or diced
  • 1 cup mixed greens (spinach or kale)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • For the Lemon Vinaigrette:
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the quinoa: Rinse the quinoa well. Combine quinoa and water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Prepare the eggs: Cook the eggs to your preference (poached, fried, or soft-boiled work well). Set aside.
  3. Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa among serving bowls. Top the quinoa with mixed greens.
  5. Add toppings: Arrange the sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion over the greens. Place one cooked egg on top of each bowl.
  6. Dress and serve: Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette evenly over the bowls just before serving.

Notes

  • For make ahead quinoa meal prep, cook the quinoa and vinaigrette up to three days in advance. Store separately. Cook the eggs fresh for the best texture.
  • If you want a creamier avocado dressing for grains, mash half the avocado with the vinaigrette ingredients instead of slicing it.
  • Add shredded carrots or bell peppers for more vibrant vegetable quinoa bowls.
