Take-out Tuesday, Sunny Side Up Salad

the Painted Apron

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
