Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 large avocado
• 0.25 cup feta cheese
• 0.25 cup kalamata olives
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large hard-boiled eggs

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water to remove bitterness.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and slice the avocado into thin wedges.

Step 5

In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the baby spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

Step 6

To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa evenly between two bowls.

Step 7

Top each bowl with sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and kalamata olives.

Step 8

Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half and place them on top of the bowls.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice over the bowls.

Step 10

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your wholesome Mediterranean breakfast bowl!
