Step 1
Cook the 4 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels, then crumble.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each of the 2 eggs into a small bowl, then slide into the water. Poach until whites are set but yolks are runny, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the 4 cups salad greens, 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 1 sliced cucumber, and 1 cup shredded red cabbage.
Step 4
Top the salad with the crumbled bacon and the 2 poached eggs. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
Step 5
Optional: drizzle with a simple vinaigrette of olive oil and vinegar if you have them.
