Ingredients

Salad:

  • 2 cups of salad leafy greens of choice (I used a mix of baby spinach and rocket/arugula leaves)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes , sliced
  • 1 bunch of asparagus spears , sliced in half
  • 4 bacon rashers (short cut), trimmed of all fat and diced
  • 2 soft boiled eggs
  • Salt to taste

Dressing:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons milk (any milk is fine)
  • Salt to season

Instructions

  • Place eggs and asparagus spears into a small - medium sized pot/saucepan, and cover with water until just covering the eggs. Bring to a gentle simmer, and allow to simmer for 4-6 minutes (for soft boiled) or longer for hard boiled eggs. After time is up, drain water and fill saucepan with cold water. Drain again and fill with cold water until water stays cool (this prevents eggs from cooking in their shell).
  • Meanwhile, fry bacon on a nonstick pan sprayed with cooking oil spray until crispy.
  • Combine all salad dressing ingredients together in a smaller bowl, and whisk (with a small whisk or fork) until combined. Place spinach, rocket/arugula and asparagus together on your serving plates/bowls. Top with cooked bacon pieces, eggs, and drizzle with dressing.
  • Good morning!
