Instructions
Cook the Quinoa
Combine rinsed quinoa with two cups of salted water or vegetable broth in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Soft Boil the Eggs
Bring a small saucepan of water to a full boil and carefully lower in the eggs using a spoon. Cook for exactly 7 minutes for a jammy soft-boiled yolk, then transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water. Peel carefully and slice in half lengthwise.
Blend the Green Goddess Dressing
Combine the fresh herbs, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, one small garlic clove, and a tablespoon of olive oil in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and vibrant green. Season generously with salt and pepper and add water to thin if needed.
Assemble the Bowls
Divide the warm quinoa between four bowls and arrange sliced avocado and the soft-boiled egg halves on top. Drizzle a generous amount of the green goddess dressing over everything and finish with extra fresh herbs, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and flaky salt.
