Ingredients

Avocado Dressing:

  • 1 avocado, peeled and pitted

  • ½ lemon, juiced

  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

  • teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon water, or as needed

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Salad:

  • 4 slices bacon

  • 2 eggs

  • 4 cups fresh mixed greens, rinsed and dried

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • ½ cup cucumber, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices

Directions

  1. Combine avocado, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a small food processor. Pulse until mixture is smooth. Add water or milk to thin out dressing to desired consistency. Set aside.

  2. Cook bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool; crumble into small pieces.

  3. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet. Add eggs; cover and cook until whites are set and yolks are barely set, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Divide mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumber slices, and bacon crumbles between 2 plates. Drizzle in desired amount of avocado dressing. Top each salad with an egg. Serve immediately.

Cook's Note:

Substitute milk for the water if desired.
