A hearty and balanced breakfast salad with peppery arugula, warm baby potatoes, jammy eggs, creamy avocado, seared turkey, and shaved Parmesan, finished with a tangy mustard vinaigrette.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • For the salad:
  • 8 slices (200 g) smoked turkey breast
  • pounds (570 g) baby gold potatoes, halved
  • 5 ounces (140 g) fresh arugula
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 large avocado (200 g), sliced
  • ¼ cup (25 g) shaved Parmesan cheese
  • For the mustard vinaigrette:
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2½ tablespoons (37 ml) white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g) finely diced shallot
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear smoked turkey slices for 2–3 minutes per side until warmed and lightly browned. Set aside.
  2. Place halved potatoes in a saucepan, cover with salted water, bring to a boil, then simmer 8–10 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly.
  3. Bring water to a gentle boil and cook eggs 6–7 minutes for jammy yolks or 9–10 minutes for firm yolks. Transfer to ice bath, cool, peel, and halve.
  4. Whisk olive oil, white wine vinegar, mustard, shallot, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  5. Arrange arugula in a large bowl and top with warm potatoes, turkey, eggs, avocado slices, and Parmesan.
  6. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad, toss gently, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serve with warm potatoes for best texture contrast.
  • Store components separately up to 3 days.
  • Keep dressing refrigerated up to 5 days.
  • Slice avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Swap arugula for spinach or mixed greens if desired.
