Ingredients

4 large soft-boiled eggs

5 oz. mixed baby greens (butter lettuce, mesclun, or baby romaine)

3.5 oz. smoked salmon

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 lemon (serve on the side)

For the Creamy Caper Chive Dressing (makes 1 cup):

2.5 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp mayonnaise

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 oz. shallot, finely minced

2 tbsp chopped capers (drained)

2 tbsp minced chives

¼ to ½ tsp coarse sea salt

½ cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low simmer, carefully add the eggs with a slotted spoon. Simmer for about 6 ½ minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Transfer to room temperature water to cool, then peel and set aside.
  2. In a measuring cup, combine Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, shallot, capers, chives, and salt. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify. Store in a sealed jar in the fridge.
  3. In a large salad bowl, combine the baby greens, smoked salmon (torn into pieces), and soft-boiled eggs (sliced in half).
  4. Drizzle the caper chive dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve the salad with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a vegan version, swap the eggs with avocado slices and use a dairy-free dressing.
  • If you prefer a spicier salad, sprinkle chili flakes or add sliced jalapeños.
  • If you prefer hard-boiled eggs instead of soft-boiled eggs, feel free to make the substitution.
  • You can also add additional protein like grilled chicken or shrimp to make the salad more filling.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored for up to 2 days in the fridge (store dressing separately).
