    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.

    While quinoa cooks, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano to create a light dressing.

    In a separate pot, poach the four eggs in simmering water for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.

    Divide the cooked quinoa and fresh spinach evenly among four serving bowls.

    Arrange the halved tomatoes, diced cucumbers, olives, and a dollop of hummus on top of the quinoa base.

    Drizzle the prepared lemon-herb dressing over the entire bowl and serve immediately.
