Breakfast Salad

SOOOOOO…DID I MENTION I LIKE SALADS?  THIS MORNING I WAS CRAVING SALAD BUT ALSO EGGS…THUS…THIS CREATION WAS BORN!!!!!!!!!  MY BREAKFAST SALAD!  CAN BE MADE FOR DINNER TOO…. TEEHEE.

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

  • 30 grams of arugula (I suggest not using spinach because it will wilt under the heat of the sausage in this dish.  Kale would be a good substitute here too since it can handle the heat well)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 lb. of pork sausage (You could use another sausage of your choice as well, just make sure it’s a bulk sausage, not the kind in the casing)
  • 1/2 avocado (You can use a whole avocado if you wish)
  • 1 sliced green onion
  • 1 tbsp. of Cholula

Directions:

  1. Take your greens of choice and make sure it is cleaned and dried thoroughly. Place in the bowl.
  2. Place sausage in a pan over medium to medium-high heat.  DO NOT USE OIL HERE UNLESS YOU ARE USING A LEAN SAUSAGE.  I chose a fatty pork sausage for flavor.
  3. Cook the sausage until it is browned or golden brown.  I sometimes like to cook until golden brown because it provides a bit of crunch.
  4. Once cooked, place on top of the salad.  It’s okay if a little bit of oil gets in from the sausage, this will provide a bit of flavor to the greens.
  5. Next, cook an egg sunny side up in the left over fat in the pan.  If you used a lean sausage, there may not be much oil in the pan.  If this is the case, use a tsp of oil so the egg will not stick to the pan.  If you are new to cooking an egg sunny side up, here is a quick 1 minute tutorial I found on youtube.
  6. Place the egg  on top of the sausage.
  7. Next, slice up the avocado and place on the arugula.
  8. Slice a green onion and sprinkle on top.
  9. Next, drizzle the Cholula on top.  If you cannot find this, any hot sauce of your choice is fine, just this one has a mild, red pepper flavor and not too much of a vinegar flavor like many other hot sauces.

NOM NOM NOM NOM!
