Lentil salad with warm eggs and toast

This Dole kit is a salad built for dinner when you add something warm and filling. A pair of soft-cooked eggs and crisp toast turn it into a meal that needs nothing else, and takes twenty minutes from fridge to plate.

Serves 2. 20 minutes, 10 at the stove.

You need

To buy

  • 2 slices bread for toasting

From your shelf

  • 1 package lentil cucumber Dole kit

Staples

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of water in a small saucepan to a bare simmer. Crack 4 eggs into the water, cover, and set a timer for 6 minutes while you prepare the toast.
  2. While the eggs cook, turn on your toaster or broiler. Toast 2 slices of bread until golden and crisp, then spread each with half a tablespoon of butter.
  3. Divide the entire lentil salad kit between two bowls, then pour the dressing over each bowl and toss gently. Let it settle while you finish the eggs.
  4. When the eggs have set after 6 minutes, check that the whites are firm but the yolks still jiggle slightly when you shake the pan. Use a slotted spoon to lift each egg onto a bowl of salad.
  5. Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set the buttered toast against the salad and serve at once.

Note Swap soft-cooked eggs for grilled chicken if you have it. Leftovers keep two days in the fridge, though the greens will wilt; eat the lentils straight if that happens. Serve with a cold drink and nothing else.
