Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 4 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels, then crumble.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Top the salad with the crumbled bacon and the 2 poached eggs. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

  5. Step 5

    Optional: drizzle with a simple vinaigrette of olive oil and vinegar if you have them.
