Ingredients
- baby spinach, washed
- mixed greens, washed
- 1 egg
- 1 slice whole grain toast
- cucumber
- Everything but the Bagel Seasoning (from Trader Joes)
- 1 tablespoon hummus
Directions
- Toss spinach and mixed greens in a bowl. Make sure they are washed.
- Boil an egg on the stove. Cook longer for a hard-boiled egg, and less for a runny yolk.
- Place 1 slice of whole grain toast in the toaster.
- Wash and slice cucumber. Add as much as desired to bowl.
- When the egg is cooked to preference, the toast should be toasted. Remove egg from water (after letting it cool) remove its shell, and place egg in bowl. (Optional: cut up egg into small bits so it can be enjoyed throughout salad.)
- Cut the toast into strips or squares and add these “croutons” to the bowl.
- Add a dollop of hummus.
- Finally, season with salt, pepper, and Everything but the Bagel Seasoning and enjoy!
