Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large soft-boiled eggs, room temperature
  • 4 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, or spring mix)
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 45 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • For the dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, enough to cover the eggs.
  2. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower 4 large eggs into the boiling water.
  3. Set a timer for exactly 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks.
  4. While eggs cook, thinly slice cucumber, radishes, halve cherry tomatoes, and chop herbs.
  5. Slice avocado just before assembling to keep it fresh and green.
  6. If quinoa is not pre-cooked, rinse ½ cup dry quinoa under cold water, combine with 1 cup water in a small pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Use a slotted spoon to transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let cool for 2 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  9. Tap eggs gently all over and peel under running water if needed. Slice eggs in half lengthwise; yolk should be glossy and slightly runny.
  10. Divide greens among four bowls. Add a scoop of quinoa to each bowl.
  11. Arrange cucumber slices, radishes, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices around the bowl.
  12. Place two halves of soft-boiled eggs on top of each bowl.
  13. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and fresh herbs over the bowls.
  14. Drizzle dressing all over the bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs to avoid cracking. Peel eggs under running water for easier shell removal. Prepare veggies and quinoa ahead to save time. For vegan adaptation, omit eggs and add roasted chickpeas or tofu. Dressing can be made ahead to enhance flavors.
