For dressing (you will have some leftover):

  • 1 very ripe avocado, peeled and stone removed
  • 2 tbsp flax oil
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tsp agave nectar or honey
  • pinch of sea salt and black pepper

Instructions:

Prepare the dressing by whirling all ingredients in a food processor or blender until completely smooth. Transfer it into a small bowl and set aside.

Toss together the zucchini noodles, cucumbers, and snap peas. If you want to put the dressing on the noodles now, pour in your desired amount and toss to coat. Arrange the veggies on a plate or in a bowl.

Heat a frying pan (using oil or cooking spray to coat if needed) over medium heat for 1 minute. Crack the egg into the pan and fry it to your desired doneness.

When the egg is cooked, use a flipper to carefully place it on top of the salad.

Scatter avocado pieces and walnuts over top. Serve with dressing (if not already used).

Note: To keep this recipe vegan, use agave instead of honey and sub in a vegan protein source such as tempeh, tofu, edamame, chickpeas or white navy beans.
