I was preparing my salad for lunch last night while my sister was cooking herself some eggs, and as she put them on her plate I suddenly thought, why not put eggs on top of the salad? Because of the yolk, I wouldn't need salad dressing.

This was my lunch today:

    Minus the meat... I am in LOVE. Love eggs. Love salad. SO perfect. :) I'd throw in a ton of bell pepper. It's like a raw omelette. lol

    You must have been REALLY hungry lol.

    Why do you say she must havebeen REALLY hungry? It seems like a nice healthy portioned plate of food to me.

    Awesome idea to kill off dressing. Gnna try definately!

    I see chopped eggs in salad bars, so this is not so far-fetched. Take off the yolk to make it even healthier!

    It was baby spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, orange bell pepper, cucumber, diced green apple and a few slivered almonds.
    I now have so many ideas of things to do with fried eggs lol. I also heard of topping mashed potatoes with a fried egg, I think that's gonna be breakfast tomorrow. Then someone mentioned rice with egg...gonna have to try that sometime!!

    Yes! I do this all the time! A great way to get protein on a salad and it's soooo yummy!

    I generally hate salad, but a salad like that I could DEFINITELY eat. I really, really want to try that now.

    I usually just use boiled eggs and then dressing, but this even poached would sure work nicely. Thanks

    coddled egg yolk makes one of the worlds most amazing sauces and dressings! I completely love it (when it fits in my numbers!)

    My thoughts exactly! Not too mention the yolk was the whole point of putting it on! lol

    That's a great idea. Plus with the extra protein and fat content, it should make the salad stave off hunger for a lot longer than some carby salad dressing crap would.

    Sounds good. It would be a little like an omelette, only with more veggies than egg.

    I don't know ... the egg and lettuce don't sound too good. Glad you liked it though!
