- 1 cup water (240 ml)
- 5 oz mixed greens salad (120 g)
- 10 oz sweet potato, cut into slices (300 g)
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced into long strips
- 2 poached eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 pinch of salt

- 1/2 cup and 2 tbsp grapeseed oil ( 150 ml)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F ( 180 C ) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add the sweet potato slices, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and combine everything.
- Transfer the sweet potato to the baking pan and bake it for 30 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa to remove its bitter flavor. Combine the quinoa with the water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. When it starts boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- Add all the dressing ingredients into a small food processor and blend until smooth.
- Divide the mixed greens salad into two bowls, top with quinoa, sweet potato, sliced avocado, poached eggs, and drizzle each serving with the dressing. Garnish with black sesame seeds.
