Not Your Mama's Egg Salad

Inspired by this dish, I threw together a quick egg salad for lunch today. Best of all it involved absolutely zero mayonnaise, mustard, or bread. Mmmm it was good.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• large handful of spinach, washed and torn into pieces
• olive oil
• balsamic vinegar
• salt and pepper

Directions:

• Begin by poaching the eggs in a saucepan of water. I left mine in for 3-4 minutes to ensure that they were slightly firm but still delightfully runny when I cut into them. 
• Arrange the spinach leaves on the plate. 
• Remove the poached eggs from the saucepan with a slotted spoon and lay them atop the spinach. The spinach will warm up and soften slightly underneath. 
• Season with GOOD olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. 

At the last minute I threw some cubed cheddar cheese on as well. In the future I plan to experiment with other vegetables or even meat in this salad as well. Yum.
