This Easy Breakfast Salad is the perfect way to start your day with this easy meal full of delicious flavor and nutrition. You won’t regret making this easy breakfast salad your next thing to try for breakfast or lunch. So, go ahead and dip those healthy greens and fried bacon into that creamy runny egg yolk deliciousness.
This quick and easy recipe is to give you the idea of a salad for breakfast and how egg and bacon are perfect when paired with whatever greens you have on hand.
Bacon Note:
If you don’t like bacon you can substitute it with any other meat you prefer. For example: ham, sausages, leftover chicken, turkey etc. OR simply just skip the meat.
You Can ADD:
Roasted vegetables! Roasted seasonal vegetables make a great substitution for the bacon or as an addition to the salad. For example: Sweet potatoes, potatoes, butternut squash, zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli and brussels sprouts.
Egg Note:
My preferred way is sunny side up and the reason for it is so I can use the runny egg yolk as sauce/dip for the salad. But, you can serve the eggs ANY way you like. If you want scrambled, then do scrambled. If you want poached, do poached. Eggs are always delicious no matter how they are served.
Another idea for the eggs is hard boil/soft boil them and cut into quarters.
Greens Note:
For this recipe, I used a combination of baby spinach and kale but you can use any type of greens you have at hand or your favorite type. You can also use only kale or only spinach.
Another idea for greens is adding microgreens or fragrant fresh herbs. For example: Cilantro, parsley or dill. Both would it decorate the dish and add flavor.
