Breakfast Salad
with lemon-dill vinaigrette
Zesty arugula topped with crispy bacon and soft boiled eggs takes "breakfast for dinner" to a new level. A bright, herby vinaigrette helps all the flavors shine their brightest.
Smarts: Molten egg yolks add rich silkiness when combined with the dressing, but feel free to cook your eggs to your preference.

Make
-
Bring a small saucepan of water (for the eggs) to a boil. Gently add eggs to boiling water and boil for exactly 7 minutes (this should yield cooked whites and runny yolks so adjust the time if you’d like your eggs cooked differently). When eggs are finished, transfer to a colander and run under cool water.
-
Carefully peel the eggs.
-
If bacon was cooked ahead of time, place it on a paper towel-lined plate and warm it briefly in the microwave.
-
Toss arugula with half of the vinaigrette.
-
Form a bed of arugula on serving plates. Arrange bacon, tomatoes, avocados, and pepitas on top. Sprinkle with chives.
-
Place eggs on top of salads and slice in half lengthwise.
-
Serve salads with remaining dressing to drizzle over top. Enjoy!
