Ingredients
- 1/2 cup bulgur wheat
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 8 grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Preparation
- The night before, place the bulgur in a heat safe storage tub or bowl. Bring 1¼ cups of water to a boil, then pour over the bulgur. Stir and cover. Refrigerate overnight. In the morning, if there is any excess water, drain the bulgur in a fine mesh sieve.
- In the morning, get two wide, low cereal or soup bowls. Spread ¼ cup of hummus in the bottom of each, divide the bulgur between the bowls, then sprinkle with spinach. Arrange the avocado, tomato halves and eggs on top.
- In a cup, mix the olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Drizzle over the bowls and serve.
