Ingredients
2 Eggland’s Best eggs, large
1 cup cooked quinoa
½ cup cucumber, diced
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup kalamata olives, sliced
¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Cook the Quinoa: If not already prepared, cook quinoa according to package instructions and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Soft-Boil the Eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 7 minutes for a jammy yolk. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 2 minutes, then peel and slice in half.
Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the quinoa as the base. Arrange cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion, and feta cheese on top.
Add the Eggs: Place the sliced eggs over the salad. Drizzle with the lemon-olive oil dressing and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve & Enjoy: Mix everything together before eating for the perfect blend of flavors and textures.
