BREAKFAST SALAD INGREDIENTS
Here's what you'll need on hand to make this breakfast salad!
1. Breakfast sausage or bacon. It's up to you whether you'd prefer to use breakfast sausage or bacon in this recipe. When choosing your breakfast sausage or bacon, we recommend looking for one with minimal ingredients that is nitrate and nitrite-free.
2. Eggs. Hard-boiled eggs are the next main component of this salad, they provide protein and so much flavor to the dish.
3. Avocados. Can you ever go wrong with avocados? Here they help add a creamy consistency to the dish as well as a good boost of healthy fats.
4. Tomatoes. Slightly sweet cherry tomatoes help brighten up this breakfast salad with their acidity.
5. Red onion. The red onion in this salad provides just a little bit of bite to the dish.
6. Cilantro or parsley. A generous amount of cilantro or parsley (whichever you prefer!) provides fresh flavor to this salad.
7. Lemon juice. Finally, lemon juice brings everything together and mixes with the avocado and egg yolks to form a sort of creamy dressing that makes this dish irresistible.
HOW TO MAKE BREAKFAST SALAD
Now that you have your ingredients, let's dive in!
1. If you have the time, cook your meats from raw. Otherwise I chose pre-cooked meat that just needs reheating for time sake! To each is own & make your proteins the way you like to!
2. Boil the eggs if you wish, but I purchase them already boiled & peeled! Then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
3. Chop the remaining ingredients. With the big components out of the way, the next step is to dice your avocados, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the red onion, and chop the cilantro.
4. Add everything to a bowl, then stir it up. Next, you'll add all of your ingredients to a large bowl, squeeze the lemons over top, & stir everything together.
DO YOU SERVE THIS HOT OR COLD?
It's totally up to your preference! I personally eat it cold, but many others have enjoyed it hot as well.
WHAT GREENS ARE GOOD FOR BREAKFAST?
ANY of them! Leafy greens are SO good for you, so starting your day off with any you love most (think: kale, spinach, arugula, cilantro, etc.) is a great way to get ahead on valuable nutrition for the day.
