Bacon, Egg, and Kale Breakfast Salad

Yes, that’s right—breakfast salads! They’re a thing , and they’re fantastic. If this concept is new to

you, just hear me out, please. A salad in the morning is a great way to work in a serving or two of

veggies (or whole grains, or fruit—more to come in this series!) right off the bat. They’re light, fresh,

and balanced, preventing that all-too-familiar carb/sugar overload that’ll have you crashing an hour

or two later.

For me, the breakfast salad is ideal because I’ve never been too fond of traditional breakfast foods.

I just have a few guidelines for how to build a great one:

→ In general, avoid really strong flavors. A mouthful of raw garlic isn’t exactly what most folks take

to first thing in the morning.

→ Be sure to include protein and fat for satiety. That protein can come in the form of an egg, a little

cheese, some leftover chicken, a sprinkle of nuts, a pile of canned beans, or a bed of whole grains.

Unsaturated fats (think olive and nut oils, avocado, or nuts) are ideal and go a long way to keeping

you satisfied longer.

→ Keep it fast and simple. This is breakfast, after all, and on weekdays you don’t have time to fuss

with a lot of prep. I’ve strived to keep things nice and easy.

→ Pay attention to texture. Ideally your salad will include something crispy-crunchy, creamy-silky,

juicy-fresh, and/or m eaty-chewy.

→ Vary the base. Sometimes, go with greens. Other days, opt for beans, whole grains, or shredded

or chopped fresh veggies.

Bacon, Egg, and Kale Breakfast Salad

Based loosely on the flavors of a BLT, this salad is hearty and light at the same time. Don’t worry if it feels like you don’t have a lot of dressing; the luscious golden yolk makes a creamy sauce in the

bowl.

1 large egg

2 cups chopped Lacinato kale

1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes

1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
