Instructions

Begin by cooking the quinoa according to package instructions, then set aside to cool.
To poach the eggs, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar, and gently break the eggs into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
In a serving bowl, lay a bed of mixed salad leaves.
Scoop the cooked quinoa over the leaves, creating a mound.
Arrange the sliced avocado and dollops of beet hummus around the quinoa.
Add the cooked protein of your choice on top of the quinoa.
Place the poached eggs on the salad.
Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with your choice of optional toppings for added texture and flavor.

FAQs

Absolutely! While quinoa is a great low-carb option, you can substitute it with other keto-friendly grains like cauliflower rice or even skip the grains entirely for a more vegetable-focused bowl.

Grilled chicken, pan-seared salmon, or sautéed tofu are excellent protein choices. For a quicker option, canned tuna or shredded rotisserie chicken also pairs beautifully with the flavors of this salad.

The Keto Bowl Salad is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you need to store it, keep the dressing separate and refrigerate the components for up to 2 days. Avocado might brown, so it's best to add fresh.

For a dairy-free option, you can top your salad with nutritional yeast for a cheese-like flavor, or simply increase the nuts and seeds for added texture and richness without the cheese.
