This was a great recipe! I made it for breakfast and it was a hit with my family. The quinoa was fluffy and the poached egg was cooked perfectly. The spinach and cucumber added a nice crunch and the lemon-tahini dressing was a great addition.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The quinoa was cooked well, but the poached egg was overcooked and the spinach and cucumber were not very flavorful. The lemon-tahini dressing was also a bit too tart for my liking.
