Breakfast salads are all the rage these days and we can totally see why! Not only are they a bright and vibrant way to start the day, but they're also good for you, taste great, and don't weigh you down. We have been chomping at the bit to jump on this food trend and just couldn't wait any longer to share this new recipe with you so that you can really wow everyone at your Easter brunch table. I give you my new favorite Mexican breakfast recipe, the irresistible Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Salad!
We tend to do brunch on the holiday's with our family more than elaborate sit-down lunches, but even though brunch fare is way easier to prepare I still don't want to be stuck in the kitchen while everyone else sips on mimosas and hangs out. So, we designed this Mexican breakfast recipe with ease of the host in mind.
The base of this salad starts with one of my family's favorite Taylor Farm's Chef Crafted Salads, Southwestern Crunch. This particular flavor hits all the right notes when it comes to Mexican eats. Crisp Romaine lettuce, red cabbage, and carrots for a bit of crunch, along with cilantro and green onions for a flavor punch. It's a perfect premade ingredient for a Mexican breakfast recipe. I mean seriously, doesn't that just scream "top me with some salsa and a crispy frizzled egg!!"?
Speaking of salsa, this one is my go-to, make ahead, pico recipe mixed with a can of black beans for protein. See what I mean about easy?! The salad is done for you, the salsa can be made a day in advance, and all you have left to do is slice a few limes and an avocado then cook up those irresistible frizzled eggs. I mean seriously, you can do all that with a mimosa in one hand!
What are frizzled eggs? ... I am so glad you asked! Frizzled eggs aren't just your standard run of the mill sunny side up egg. Oh no, these babies are quickly fried in a bath of screaming hot olive oil creating crispy edges around the egg white while leaving the yolks perfectly runny. Trust me, you may never go back to regular fried eggs again! Now you may have noticed I haven't mentioned a dressing for this salad at all. Well, friend, that's because the combination of that runny yolk and the juices from the salsa make the dreamiest dressing all by themselves, so no extra work from you.
Since it is a holiday and all we thought there should be special drinks, so we're whipping up a big batch of Power Greens Smoothies. These smoothies are loaded with lots of good for you ingredients like greens, pineapple, banana, green grapes, and milk.
