"Avocado Egg BLT Salad"

 

Avocado / egg / BACON / LETTUCE / TOMATO SALAD 

Helpings: 2

Time to Prepare: 5 minutes

Time to Make: 10 minutes

Salad Ingredients:

  • 1 bag of Cruciferous Crunch Collection from Trader Joe's (or any lettuce of your choosing, but I promise it is way better when the greens are cut into strips/ribbons)
  • 1/4 red onion, diced or chopped
  • 1 hand full of cherry tomatoes, cut into halves 
  • 1 hand full of pine nuts (try not to be too greedy with these if you are on your Whole 30 journey)
  • 6 pieces of bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1-2 eggs, soft boiled (go to my link "how to soft boil an egg" if you don't know how to soft boil an egg - because I definitely didn't before this!)
  • salt & pepper to taste

Dressing Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbs. red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbs. dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1 lemon

 

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine your Cruciferous Crunch, onion, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, and chopped up yummy bacon.  
  2. Now its time to make one of my favorite Whole30 salad dressings! Combine all of you dressing ingredients in a Ball Jar (or any type of cup with a lid that you can shake rigorously), put the lid on the jar, and shake until all the ingredients have come together.  
  3. Pour the dressing all over the salad and mix it all together. Set aside. 
  4. Bring some water to a boil and gently place your eggs into the boiling water (I use the word gently because I wasn't so gentle and one of my eggs immediately broke on the bottom of the pot, this is not how to soft boil an egg - lol).
  5. Once your eggs are done (typically six minutes in boiling water is the perfect amount of time needed for a soft boiled egg), let them cool and peel off the shells. Slice each egg in half and place on top of the salad with your beautifully sliced avocado! 
  6. Now NOMMM!!!
