Salad Vegetables- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1/2 orange bell pepper
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper
- 10 large lettuce leaves
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by making the scrambled eggs. Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack the 2 eggs into a bowl, whisk them lightly, and pour them into the heated pan. As the egg whites begin to set around the edges, gently break the yolks with a fork or spatula and stir to create soft curds.
Step 2
The key is to scramble them gently, creating fluffy, soft curds rather than very small pieces. Cook just until they are mostly set but still moist. Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and let them cool slightly. This ensures they remain tender and delicious when added to the salad.
Step 3
Next, prepare the bell peppers. Wash the red, orange, and yellow bell peppers thoroughly. Remove the stems and seeds, then slice them thinly into strips. Aim for uniform strips for an appealing presentation.
Step 4
Wash the 10 large lettuce leaves and gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This is important to prevent the salad from becoming watery. Tear or chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the dressing. In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, 3 Tbsp of vinegar, 1 Tbsp of soy sauce, 1 Tbsp of honey, and 1/2 Tbsp of minced garlic. Whisk vigorously until the ingredients are well emulsified and the dressing is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers and the prepared lettuce. Gently toss them together to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Arrange the tossed vegetables on a serving plate or in a salad bowl. Carefully place the cooled scrambled eggs on top of the fresh greens.
Step 8
Drizzle the prepared homemade dressing evenly over the salad. Be sure to coat the ingredients generously for maximum flavor.
Step 9
Finally, add a decorative swirl of balsamic glaze over the salad for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful combination of textures and flavors!
