Rinse 100g of quinoa under cold water in a sieve.
Place the rinsed quinoa and 200ml of water into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Set aside.
Place 2 eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool. Peel and slice the eggs.
Steam or boil 150g of broccoli florets until tender but still bright green. This should take approximately 5-7 minutes.
Wash and chop a handful of mixed lettuce.
In a bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, chopped lettuce, cooked broccoli florets, sliced egg, a mozzarella ball, and a dollop of houmous. Serve immediately.
For extra flavour, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil to your quinoa.
