Ingredients for Salad
● 4 large shallots (about 6 ounces), thinly sliced (about 1 cup),
● 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, shaved (around 1 cup)
● Kosher salt, as per taste
● 6 cups loosely packed arugula (about 3 ounces)
● 2 ounces of prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces (about 1 cup)
● 2 teaspoons avocado oil, divided
● 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper,
● 4 large eggs
Ingredients for Dressing
● 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
● 2 tablespoons of olive oil
● 4 garlic cloves, grated (about 2 teaspoons)
● 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
● 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
● 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
● 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
Directions for Dressing
To make the perfect dressing, stir together the basil, oregano, Dijon, dry mustard, lemon zest, and juice in a medium bowl. While constantly whisking the mixture, gradually add olive oil to it to ensure that the dressing is smooth. You can even make a big batch and store it for up to three days.
Directions to Make the Salad
Step 1:
Start by preheating the boiler with the 6-inch oven rack. Mix the shallots with a teaspoon of avocado oil in a small bowl before spreading them out in a uniform layer on a mini baking sheet. Roast your shallots roasted for about three minutes in a hot oven. Take it out of the oven and give it around five minutes to cool.
Step 2:
While the shallots are cooling, warm up the final teaspoon of avocado oil in a sizable nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add salt as per your taste and crack eggs into a skillet. Cook for three minutes or until the whites are set, and the yolks are still runny. Switch off the heat and place the eggs on a plate. Set aside.
Step 3:
Take a large bowl and drizzle it with 1 tablespoon of dressing. Add arugula along with 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Add pepper, Parmesan, and shallots on top of it. Toss the mixture around to combine. Place the salad on a big plate. Add eggs and prosciutto on top. Add more salt, pepper, or dressing if you require.
