Notes

I have more tips above on how to customize this bowl, but you can swap the greens, switch up the egg style (I love a boiled egg also), or use a different protein like chicken, tuna, or leftover salmon.
You can also bulk it up with extra veggies such as sautéed mushrooms or roasted asparagus to keep things fresh and interesting.
