Country Breakfast Salad
***This is a sponsored post written by us on behalf of Safeway “Start your day with a wholesome twist – our Country Breakfast Salad, a hearty morning delight featuring classic breakfast ingredients.”
Salad for breakfast.
Oh, it’s a thing.
Growing up we were told breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We still hold that statement to be true. Starting our day off with a balanced meal of protein, veggies, and fruit helps us keep our energy levels high while chasing around an almost one year-old!
Recently, we've switched up a few items on our breakfast plate to include a more plant based, protein-rich, and gluten free focus. Enter the Country Breakfast Salad.
What is a Country Breakfast Salad?
A Country Breakfast Salad is a healthier version of the Country Breakfast you will find at your local diner. It’s a salad that is made up of fresh mixed greens, bacon, chicken sausage, fresh apple slices, crisp walnuts, and hard boiled eggs. Then you drizzle it with your favorite salad dressing. Sounds savory, right?
Why a Salad for Breakfast?
Not only is salad chock-full of nutrients, but it’s simple to gather ingredients at our neighborhood Safeway. Their high quality products from their O Organics® and Open Nature® lines (which are available in our area exclusively at Safeway) make picking out ingredients a breeze. We know that we can pop into Safeway and find quality products at a value in every corner of the store every time we visit. That is a huge blessing!
What Products did you add to your Country Breakfast Salad?
All the products we picked for this salad are from Safeway. BUT! There are three products that make this salad an 11/10 situation:
– Open Nature® BACON APPLEWOOD SMOKED UNCURED : we all love bacon, but this applewood smoked version brings a richness to your standard strip. Plus, the bacon crisps up beautifully in the oven making meal prep simple! Open Nature products are made from ingredients from natural sources across the entire line and are always free of artificial flavors and preservatives.
– O Organics® SAUSAGE CHICKEN MAPLE LINKS : you can’t have bacon without some sausage and to keep things on a lighter note we decided to add these chicken sausage maple links to the salad. Speedy to reheat in the microwave, but they add a touch of luxuriousness with the sweetness from the maple! Like all O Organics products, they contains no GMOs and are 100% USDA certified organic.
– O Organics® EGGS BROWN LARGE GRADE A: we eat a lot of eggs in our household particularly Charlie who has one a day! Well, while we make her some scrambled eggs we will prepare a few hard boiled eggs to toss onto the salad. The freshness of these large brown eggs is memorable!
What Dressing do you Recommend?
Literally anything! We are big balsamic fans in our house so that’s our usual go-to. However, for this salad you could do a simple lemon or basil vinaigrette. Or our Dijon Vinaigrette would be savory too!
