  1. Cook wild rice according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside. 
  2. Cook eggs in a saucepan of boiling water for 5 minutes or until medium soft. Remove and cool immediately with cold water to stop cooking. Peel and set aside.

  5. To make the dressing, whisk red wine vinegar, mustard, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle in olive oil and mix well. 
  6. Combine wild rice, charred broccolini, radish, green onion, almonds and pomegranate in a large salad bowl. Pour over half the dressing and toss gently to coat. 
  7. Cut eggs in half and arrange over salad with avocado. Drizzle over remaining dressing. Serve immediately.
