Lonely Chicago Salad

Have you ever seen the movie "Waitress"? It's one of my favorites. In it, the main character makes various types of pies and gives them strange names. One is called "Lonely Chicago Pie".

Well Spider's in Chicago and I'm lonely, so I decided to make myself something easy, healthy and super tasty: salad with an egg.



I love salad and I love eggs. In this recipe, the runny yolk muddles together with the oil and vinegar to make a rich dressing without too much work.

Start with a simple salad. I went with a 50/50 mx of spinach and spring greens, and then some cut up tomatoes. That's all. If you've got more veggies and greens, by all means, add them.




Cook the egg super slowly. If your yolk starts to harden you've ruined everything. Luckily mine did not.



Toss the salad with a scant 1/2 tbs of olive oil and vinegar (depending on the size of your salad, of course. You want the leaves to be lightly dressed without any puddles in the bottom of the bowl. Salt and Pepper generously. Top with the egg, letting the yolk bleed into the greens.



Toss with a fork. Salt and pepper again. Take downstairs and enjoy while you watch Game of Thrones in a much too big bed.
