Take-out Tuesday, Sunny Side Up Salad
Have you ever had a breakfast salad?
This is a wonderful meal for warmer temps
On a recent stellar sunny morning, I set the table outside
And indulged in this delightful breakfast salad
A sunny side up egg
atop a bed of greens and berries
Bacon strips and toast points
Cut into the yolk and it makes a natural dressing for your salad
This was a very good way to start the day 😋
I had some cooked bacon strips and a little leftover salad from dinner so it made this salad even easier to throw together. I added the bacon to the skillet to warm while the egg was cooking
Sunny Side Up Salad
2 cups mixed salad greens, such as spinach and crisp romaine
1/4 cup chopped celery
2 T pecan pieces, optional
1/2 cup chopped strawberries and/or blueberries
2 slices crisp cooked bacon
1 thin slice bread, toasted and cut into points, fingers or croutons, optional
vinaigrette, optional
1 egg
Put greens and berries in a shallow sided bowl. Add celery and pecans or anything else desired for your salad. Toss lightly with vinaigrette if desired. Fry or poach egg until whites are firm but yolk is still runny. Place egg atop salad and garnish with bacon strips and toast points or croutons.
If you want to use a little dressing on the salad, these light, quick and easy vinaigrettes are great on everything
Orange Marmalade Vinaigrette
2 T salad vinegar
5 T olive oil
2 tsp Dijon mustard
3 tsp Orange Marmalade
salt & pepper to taste
Place all ingredients in a small jar and shake to combine. Refrigerate for several hours if possible to blend flavors
M & M {maple & mustard} Dressing
M & M Dressing
1 Tablespoon (heaping) Dijon Mustard
1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup, I use Michele’s Butter Pecan Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Olive Oil
Salt And Pepper, to taste
In a small jar, mix Dijon, maple syrup, vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Put the lid on the jar and shake well to mix.
Store in refrigerator. Let dressing sit out before using if necessary to mix after chilling.
