While doing "low carb" I started thinking outside the cereal box and discovered that my absolute favorite breakfast is a green salad with a couple of fried eggs over easy!! Don't have a cow!! I know this is odd but it is also really delicious. A truly healthy breakfast that does not involve any junk food. It is not as bizarre as you might think! They put hard boiled eggs on a chef salad, why not a couple of eggs over easy? Or some scrambled eggs? It's a lot faster to fix than boiling, too! P.S. These are "actual photographs" of my breakfast today.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups lettuce (any kind, today was green leaf)
2-3 - grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup broccoli tops, cut into bite sized pieces
1 ounce feta cheese
2 tablespoons creamy low carb salad dressing
1/2 teaspoon pimientos
2 - eggs, over easy (or any way you like them)

How To Make low carb true egg salad

Step 1

To make my life easy, I make a large salad out of a whole head (or two) of lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli and put it in an air tight container to last thru the day... and maybe over night. When I want some I scoop out a bowl full and I'm ready to dress up my salad.

Step 2

This morning's salad was left over from yesterday so there is not much tomato left... but whatever is in the bowl is my breakfast.
Step 3

Step one: make a salad -- you know how. I added my feta cheese at this point so it would be under the hot eggs when they are added. It makes the cheese a little melty.
Step 4

Step two: Fry up a couple of eggs, however you like them. I did them one at a time for pictures but I made two eggs... you'll see the other one on the salad.
Step 5

Step three: Take your eggs from the pan to the salad and place it on top.
Step 6

Step four: Garnish as you wish. I used 2 Tbsp of my creamy low carb dressing with a zip and a bit of pimiento for color. Then serve. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dressing/creamy-lo-carb-salad-dressing-with-a-zip.html?p=12 NOTE: The second egg cooked a little too much for my tastes as I was taking pictures, so you can see the browned one in the back!! I don't like to waste food and it tasted good, too! LOL
Step 7

To eat, I take a knife and fork and cut the eggs into smaller pieces which also mixes the garnish and the salad all together. YUMMM!!!
Step 8

No big mystery -- it is just salad with eggs -- make them all your way and ENJOY!!
