Tips
- Drop the egg straight into boiling water for a perfectly soft yolk in 6 minutes.
- Squeeze lemon juice over the avocado as soon as you cut it to keep it from browning.
- Choose a low-sodium smoked salmon if you're watching your salt intake.
Variations
- Heartier version: double the quinoa portion for a higher calorie count.
- Fish-free version: swap the smoked salmon for 100g of grilled chicken or roasted chickpeas.
