Easy Breakfast Salad
Description
This breakfast salad begins with roasting medium-sized cauliflower chunks tossed with avocado or olive oil, salt, and pepper until browned and tender. Separately, diced red onion is sautéed with baby greens and the roasted cauliflower, lightly wilting the greens while retaining freshness.
Eggs are cooked in the same pan to the desired doneness—commonly sunny side up—and placed atop the warm sautéed vegetables. The salad is then garnished with sliced avocado, fresh dill, and microgreens, providing fresh herbal notes and a creamy texture contrast.
This salad works well as a filling and balanced breakfast offering vegetables, protein, and healthy fats. Variations can include substituting roasted sweet potatoes for cauliflower when carb content is not restricted, adding another layer of sweetness and texture.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cauliflower roasted
- 2-3 teaspoons avocado oil or olive oil
- ¼ cup onion red, chopped
- 2 -3 cups baby greens spinach, kale, arugula or your favorite green
- 2-3 large egg
- ⅓ avocado sliced
- microgreens
- dill fresh
- salt sea salt
- black pepper sea salt
Instructions
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot add onion and sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Add greens and roasted cauliflower and toss to combine. Sprinkle with sea salt. Cook, stirring often, 2 minutes or just until greens begin to wilt.
- Transfer veggies to a salad bowl and then crack two eggs into the same pan, adding a little more oil if needed. Cook eggs to desired consistency (I like mine sunny side up) sprinkle with salt and pepper and place on top of sautéed greens.
- Top bowl with microgreens, fresh dill and sliced avocado. Serve with more salt and pepper and hot sauce if desired.
Notes
- Preheat oven to 400°F before roasting cauliflower tossed with oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet until browned and tender, about 25-30 minutes.
- You can replace roasted cauliflower with roasted sweet potatoes if low-carb is not a requirement for this salad.
