3. Breakfast Salad
Salad for breakfast? We know it sounds wild, but hear us out. While this recipe is filled with all the usual salad suspects, such as mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and avocado, it also adds a few twists to your traditional bowl of lettuce, making it one of our favorite healthy breakfast bowls. Fresh blueberries, bagel croutons, and a runny poached egg on top push this salad bowl firmly into breakfast territory. Finish with a dash of everything bagel seasoning, if you please (we do)!
Ingredients
- 1 plain bagel or 2 slices wheat bread, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cup mixed baby salad greens, such as spinach, kale, and/or romaine
- ½ cup assorted cherry and/or grape tomatoes
- 2 strips bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled
- ½ of an avocado, peeled and chopped
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoon chopped walnuts or almonds, toasted
- 3 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch black pepper
- 2 poached or fried eggs (optional)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a shallow baking pan toss bagel pieces with olive oil. Bake about 10 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
-
Meanwhile, in a serving bowl layer salad greens, tomatoes, bacon, avocado, blueberries, and walnuts.
-
In a small screw-top jar combine yogurt, olive oil, bagel seasoning, lemon juice, and pepper. Seal jar and shake to combine.
-
Drizzle dressing over salad. Top with bagel croutons and eggs, if desired.
Tip
If bagel seasoning cannot be found, omit it from the dressing and substitute an everything bagel for the plain bagel.
