Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the 2 eggs in a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    While the eggs cook, rinse and dry the 4 cups mixed greens and place them in a large bowl. Slice the 1 tomato into wedges and the 4 radishes into thin rounds.

  3. Step 3

    Drain the eggs, cool under cold water, then peel and slice into halves or quarters.

  4. Step 4

    Add the tomato, radishes, 0.5 cup black beans, 0.25 cup sliced almonds, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds to the bowl with the greens.

  5. Step 5

    Top the salad with the sliced eggs and drizzle with 2 tbsp balsamic glaze. Toss gently just before serving.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately, or keep the dressing separate if making ahead.
