All the breakfast favorites, in one richly textured and easy-to-prepare salad. Juicy orange, salty bacon, crumbly egg, and crunchy greens, all enrobed in a light sweet-mustard vinaigrette. It might sound odd at first, to add citrus to the mix, but it adds a refreshing touch that elevates all the other flavors. Do note that if you are strictly limiting your carbohydrate intake, then each orange may be substituted with 1 cup of raspberries. Serve this salad as a light brunch, weekday lunch, or dinner. It goes especially well alongside a thick slice of avocado-mashed toast.
