Mixed Greens + Egg + Grains Salad

Here is another unique entree salad (for one) combo that turned out really tasty!  I love putting a soft fried (or poached) egg on a salad, it works as a unique salad dressing.  This salad also features my favorite Trader Joes Harvest Grains.  IF you haven't tried those yet you need to get on that ASAP.  Enjoy!

Servings: 1
Servings Size: 1 salad
Points Plus: 8pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 3 minutes (for egg)
Rating: 4 - Very Good


Ingredient List:
1 handful of mixed greens
3/4 cup Trader Joes Harvest Grains, cooked according to package directions
1 egg, raw
1 T. fat free feta
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
Salt + pepper to taste

Spicy Dressing (optional, if you omit it will decrease the pp value by 1)
Siracha
1 T. light mayo

Directions:
Heat a skillet and fry your egg until cooked to your desired hardness. Mix 1 T. light mayo with 1 squirt of siracha to make a spicy dressing.

To assemble salad - layer greens, Harvest Grains, cheese, egg, spicy Siracha dressing and salt and pepper to taste.  Serve with tomatoes on the side.

Tip:
On a totally unhealthy note (although healthy in moderation), my spicy siracha dressing is inspired by THIS totally delish shrimp sauce with is inspired by MN hibachi restaurant Benihaha. This sauce is really good on rice or grains, I actually have never had it on shrimp.  But I bet it is really good!
