Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large egg
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 ounces green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon grainy mustard
1/4 avocado
1 ounce baby spinach (3/4 cup)
2 ounces frisee (2 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons pecans

Steps:

  • Place egg in a saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring just to a boil; cover and remove from heat. Let stand 12 minutes, then run under cold water to stop cooking. Peel egg and quarter.
  • In the same saucepan, bring 2 inches salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately run under cold water to stop cooking.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, oil, and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Store this dressing in a small airtight container.
  • Just before serving, dice avocado and add it to your premade salad, along with egg. Toss with dressing.
