Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature for best results)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (about 185g cooked) – tri-color quinoa recommended
  • 1/2 cup cooked brown rice (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or grated
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced thin
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or chives), red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Cook 1 cup quinoa according to package instructions (about 15 minutes simmering in 2 cups water). Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly. Cook brown rice separately if using and keep warm.
  2. Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower 4 large eggs into the water using a spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for a runny yolk (7 minutes for slightly firmer yolk). Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into an ice bath for 3 minutes to stop cooking.
  3. Wash and chop all fresh vegetables: shred cabbage, julienne or grate carrot, slice cucumber and avocado, halve cherry tomatoes, and rinse greens thoroughly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, shredded cabbage, carrot, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, and spinach. Drizzle dressing over and toss gently until everything is coated but not soggy.
  6. Carefully peel the soft-boiled eggs by gently tapping and rolling on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running water. Slice each egg in half and nestle on top of the bowl.
  7. Arrange avocado slices and sprinkle toasted pumpkin seeds and fresh herbs over the top. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy the avocado vibrant and eggs warm and creamy.

Notes

Use a timer and ice bath to perfectly cook soft-boiled eggs. Peel eggs gently under running water to avoid tearing whites. Rinse quinoa before cooking to remove bitterness. Toss dressing gently to avoid bruising greens. Keep dressing separate if meal prepping to avoid sogginess. Add avocado and eggs fresh before serving.
