Lately I’ve been obsessed with arugula. It has that perfectly peppery zing that really appeals to me and makes a great backdrop for a variety of other ingredients. My most recent uses are on my faux bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado sandwiches on wheat lavash and this poached egg salad (thanks to Alton Brown – I finally learned how to properly poach an egg!) The slightly runny egg yolk creates a natural, creamy dressing, adding a decadent warmth to the spicy arugula. It’s really fast and easy!
