Boil the eggs in a pan for 5-6 minutes for soft boiled. Drain and run under cold water to stop them cooking more. Peel, leaving whole.
Meanwhile, cook the tenderstem broccoli in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender. Slice any thick stems. In a dry pan, toast the mixed seeds, then add a splash of olive oil, the honey and tamari. Cook for 1 minute or until sticky, then set aside to cool.
Heat a the ready-cooked red and white quinoa according to the pack instructions, then arrange on 2 plates with the broccoli, tuna and sliced avocado. Halve or quarter the eggs and place on top.

In a jug, whisk the extra-virgin olive oil, dijon mustard, white wine vinegar and a splash of water, then drizzle over the salad. Scatter with the seeds.
