Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 14 cup each 2% plain Greek yogurt and mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Feisty Green Sauce Mix
  • 3 tbsp milk, your choice
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 can (14 oz/398 ml) lentils
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 cups arugula or baby spinach

Preparation

  1. In Multipurpose Steamer, stir together quinoa and 2 cups water. Cover; microwave on high for 12 min, or until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare dressing. Whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, milk, and lime juice. Set aside.
  3. Drain and rinse lentils. Roughly chop broccoli.
  4. Fill four Prep Bowls with 1⁄2 cup cold water each. Crack one egg into each bowl.
  5. Once quinoa is cooked, cook eggs. Partially cover each bowl with lid. If your microwave is equipped with a turntable, place bowls on the edge of the turntable; avoid crowding in the middle for even cooking. Microwave until yolk is set to your liking, about 3 min for a medium poach with a jammy yolk. Carefully remove bowls from microwave. Using a spoon, place eggs on a plate lined with a paper towel or kitchen towel.
  6. Divide quinoa between four bowls. Arrange lentils, broccoli, and arugula on top. Top with egg. Drizzle with dressing.

Tips

Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to egg cooking water—it helps the eggs set. Prefer a softer yolk? Start with 2 min, then increase by 30 second increments as needed. For a hard poach, try 4 min.
