A breakfast salad with turkey bacon, soft-boiled eggs, goat cheese, and a walnut dressing. Protein-packed for healthy aging.

From The Young Forever Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 4 slices turkey bacon
  • 4 large pasture-raised organic eggs
  • 4 heads Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated
  • 4 large radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup leftover cooked grains (optional)
  • 4 oz soft goat cheese, crumbled
  • 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped toasted walnut pieces

Instructions

  1. For the breakfast salad: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then a wire rack. Arrange the turkey bacon on the rack and bake for 10 minutes. Flip the strips and continue baking for another 5 minutes, until crisp.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Using a spoon, gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 8 minutes. Transfer the eggs with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water. Once cool, peel the eggs, halve, and set aside.
  3. For the dressing: Combine all the ingredients except the walnuts in a bowl, stirring to emulsify. Stir in the walnuts and taste; adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, radishes, grains (if using), and a couple tablespoons of the dressing, mixing well. Divide the salad among four bowls and top with the turkey bacon, goat cheese, and egg halves. Drizzle with remaining dressing and serve.
