INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed

• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

• 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil

• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, divided

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 4 large eggs

• 8 ounces cherry tomatoes

• 3 cups fresh arugula

• 1 small ripe avocado, peeled and sliced

• 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

PREPARATION:

• Prepare the quinoa according to package directions.

• Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, basil, 1 tablespoon vinegar and lemon juice. Add to cooked quinoa; stir to combine.

• Place 2-3 inches of water in a large skillet with high sides; add remaining vinegar. Bring to a boil; adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Break 1 cold egg at a time into a small cup; holding cup close to the surface of the water, slip egg into the water. Cook, uncovered until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 3-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, lift eggs out of water. Keep warm.

• In a large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Cook tomatoes until they begin to release their juices, 8-10 minutes. Add arugula; cook and stir just until arugula is wilted, 1-2 minutes.

• To serve, divide quinoa evenly among four bowls. Add cherry tomatoes, arugula, avocado slices and crumbled bacon. Top each with a poached egg.
