Combine the quinoa and water in a pot. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cover. Let simmer for 12-15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Remove the lid, fluff with a fork, and stir in salt and half the balsamic vinegar. Set aside.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large pan over medium-low heat until done. Transfer to a towel-lined plate and chop into pieces once cool enough to handle
Divide the balsamic quinoa, bacon, greens, tomatoes, and ricotta into bowls. Drizzle with remaining balsamic vinegar as desired. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes
No fresh mozzarella: Use ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, burrata, or feta cheese instead
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days
Vegetarian: Use tempeh "bacon" instead by slices tempeh thin and pan frying it or air frying it like bacon.
