Yep, it’s a thing. Breakfast Salad. Hard boiled eggs, roasted potatoes, all tossed up with greens and balsamic dressing.

It was just last summer while visiting Toronto that I discovered a lot of people eat salad for breakfast. And while traveling for Easter last week I found out it wasn’t just a Canadian thing. Sorry Canada – I still think you’re super special.

We hit the road last week to visit friends in North Carolina. We stayed with our friends Mark and Brigitta in Asheville. They have two young children, both work full time and there’s not a lot of time to spare in the kitchen. I actually don’t know how they manage to eat at all with little ones running around! Major kudos to them!

I was pretty amazed with the quick, healthy and creative dishes Brigitta came up with for her family. She inspired me to add some of the meals we shared to Oat&Sesame. I think they will be great go-to recipes for anyone short on time and craving a simple and delicious homemade meal. And all of them will make perfect make-ahead dishes to take to work. You can’t beat that combo!

First up is a recipe for a breakfast salad. Don’t walk away from this one just because the word “salad” is in the title. It’s delicious.

The recipe is inspired by a restaurant in West Asheville called Sunny Point. I’ve eaten there on previous trips and recommend eating there if you’re visiting Asheville.
