Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

  2. 2

    Prepare Medium-Boiled Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for medium-boiled. Remove eggs and place them in an ice bath for 5 minutes. Peel and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the quinoa and eggs are cooking, wash and chop the baby kale, arugula, tatsoi, and cucumber. Shave the carrots using a peeler. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, baby kale, arugula, tatsoi, cucumber, shaved carrots, and avocado. Slice the medium-boiled eggs and place on top. Sprinkle with feta cheese and pepitas.

  5. 5

    Dress the Bowl

    Drizzle with herb-yogurt dressing of your choice and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
