Notes

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Wash and Dry the Rocket Leaves:
    • Rinse the rocket leaves in cold water, then dry them thoroughly using a salad spinner or a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Prepare the Eggs:
    • For boiled eggs, bring water to a boil, add eggs, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 6-10 minutes. Peel and slice.
    • For fried eggs, heat a pan with a little olive oil, crack the eggs into the pan, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are runny (or cook longer for fully set yolks).
    • For poached eggs, bring water to a simmer, add a splash of vinegar, stir the water into a whirlpool, and gently add the egg. Cook for 3 minutes.
  3. Toast the Bread:
    • Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a pan until golden and crispy. Cut into cubes.
  4. Prepare the Vegetables and Toppings:
    • Slice the avocado and cherry tomatoes in half. Crumble the feta cheese. Chop your choice of nuts.
  5. Make the Dressing:
    • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until combined.
  6. Assemble the Salad:
    • Place the rocket leaves in a bowl, drizzle with dressing, and toss gently.
    • Add the eggs, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cheese on top.
    • Sprinkle with nuts and add your toast cubes for crunch.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Plate your salad and enjoy immediately while it’s fresh!
