Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 cups Mixed greens
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Crack the eggs into a separate small bowl or directly into a medium-sized nonstick skillet (preferably one with a pour spout for easy dressing transfer).
Add the water to the skillet with the eggs and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
Place the skillet over low heat and cook the egg mixture while continuously whisking. Be careful to cook slowly to avoid scrambling the eggs. The goal is to gently heat the mixture until it thickens to a creamy, sauce-like consistency, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
Once the egg mixture is thickened, remove it from the heat and quickly stir in the prepared mustard and vinegar mixture to create the final warm dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with a little more salt or lemon juice if needed.
In a large salad bowl, place the mixed greens and immediately drizzle the warm egg dressing over the top.
Toss the greens gently until they are evenly coated with the warm dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful salad!
