Red Quinoa with Spinach, Cherry Tomatoes, and Poached Eggs
In addition to being deliciously nutty, quinoa is a complete protein—but you knew that already, right? If you can’t find red, the white variety will work just as well in this tangy, wilted salad.

Preparation
Step 1
Bring quinoa, broth, and 1 tsp. salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 15 minutes; fluff with a fork.
Step 2
Meanwhile, toss onion and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
Step 3
Bring 2” water to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce heat so water is at a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs, waiting until whites of eggs in water are opaque before adding the next egg (about 30 seconds apart). Poach until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels as they are done.
Step 4
Toss quinoa with spinach, tomatoes, and reserved onion. Serve topped with eggs and seasoned with salt and pepper.
