Hey there, breakfast lovers! 💁♀️ Let me share a little secret with you – who says salads are just for lunch and dinner? I’m about to rock your morning routine with a breakfast salad that’s so good, you’ll wonder why you’ve been sticking to boring old cereal all this time!
Listen up, because this isn’t your typical garden salad. This morning masterpiece combines the perfect balance of protein, healthy fats, and all the good stuff your body craves first thing in the morning. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!
Here’s what you’ll need (and yes, you can totally meal prep this the night before, you busy bee!):
– 2 cups of baby spinach (because we’re fancy like that)
– 2 soft-boiled eggs (I’ll teach you my foolproof method)
– 1/2 avocado, sliced (hello, gorgeous!)
– 4-5 strawberries, quartered
– 1/4 cup candied pecans
– 2 strips of crispy bacon, crumbled
– Honey mustard dressing (homemade, because we’re not basic)
For the dressing (because store-bought just won’t cut it):
– 2 tbsp honey
– 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
– 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Okay queens, here’s how we make magic happen:
1. First, let’s nail those perfect soft-boiled eggs. Bring water to a boil, gently lower your eggs, and set that timer for exactly 6.5 minutes. Ice bath them immediately after – we want that yolk runny but not too runny!
1. While your eggs are doing their thing, crisp up that bacon until it’s perfect (you know what I mean 😉).
1. Arrange your spinach in a gorgeous bowl – presentation is everything, darling!
1. Now for the fun part: layer those beautiful ingredients like you’re creating art. Because honestly? You are!

1. Fan out those avocado slices (Instagram-worthy, please!), scatter those strawberries, and sprinkle your bacon and pecans like the kitchen goddess you are.
1. Whisk together your dressing ingredients until they’re smooth and dreamy.
1. Peel those eggs (carefully!) and place them on top like the crowning glory they are.
1. Drizzle that heavenly dressing all over.
Y’all, this breakfast salad is seriously everything! It’s got the perfect balance of sweet and savory, plus enough protein to keep you full until lunch. The runny yolk creates this amazing natural dressing when it mingles with everything else – it’s basically breakfast poetry!
Pro tip: If you’re meal prepping, keep the dressing separate and add the avocado and eggs fresh in the morning. Nobody likes brown avocados, am I right? 🥑
