Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 grilled salmon fillet, flaked
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Fresh spinach leaves
- Kalamata olives
- Fresh herbs (optional for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork once cooked.
- Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
- Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach leaves. Boil the eggs, then cool them, peel, and halve. Slice the avocado into even pieces.
- In a large bowl, arrange the cooked quinoa, flaked salmon, halved eggs, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, spinach leaves, and Kalamata olives.
- Sprinkle the bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs and drizzle with your favorite dressing for added flavor.
Notes
Rinse quinoa before cooking to remove bitterness. Choose high-quality salmon for the best flavor.
