Hey there, breakfast lovers! ๐
Let me tell you about a breakfast salad thatโs totally going to change your morning game. I know what youโre thinking โ โSalad for breakfast? Girl, are you crazy?โ Trust me, once you try this combination of crispy greens, perfectly jammy eggs, and a honey-dijon dressing thatโll make you weak in the knees, youโll never look at breakfast the same way again!
This recipe came to me during one of those โIโm so over avocado toastโ moments (donโt get me wrong, I still love you, avo toast!), and honestly? Itโs been a total game-changer for my morning routine.
What Youโll Need:
โ 2 cups baby spinach and arugula mix
โ 2 soft-boiled eggs
โ 4-5 crispy bacon strips, crumbled
โ 1/2 avocado, sliced
โ 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
โ 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
โ 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
โ Sourdough bread croutons (because why not?)
For that divine dressing:
โ 2 tablespoons olive oil
โ 1 tablespoon honey
โ 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
โ Squeeze of lemon juice
โ Salt and pepper to taste

Now, letโs get cooking (and by cooking, I mean mostly assembling, because who has time for complicated breakfast?):
1. First, letโs get those eggs perfect. Bring water to a boil, gently lower your eggs, and set that timer for exactly 6.5 minutes. Trust me on this one โ itโs the sweet spot for jammy yolks!
1. While your eggs are doing their thing, crisp up that bacon until itโs giving you all the snap-crackle-pop vibes.
1. Whisk together your dressing ingredients. Pro tip: Add a tiny bit of hot water to help it emulsify better. Your salad will thank you later!
1. In a gorgeous bowl (because we eat with our eyes first, honey!), arrange your greens. Layer on those tomatoes, cucumber, and that beautiful avocado.
1. Once your eggs are done, ice bath them for a minute (keeps them from overcooking โ weโre fancy like that), peel, and slice them in half.
1. Top your salad with the eggs, crumbled bacon, pumpkin seeds, and those crunchy croutons. Drizzle that heavenly dressing all over.
Yโall, this breakfast salad is seriously Instagram-worthy, but more importantly, itโs packed with protein, healthy fats, and all the good stuff to keep you energized until lunch. No sad desk snacking at 10 AM, thank you very much!
