Ingredients
  

  • 1 handful spring mix baby lettuce, spinach, etc.
  • 1 egg egg
  • 1 ball mozzarella
  • ¼ pomegranate pomegranate
  • 10 pieces blueberries
  • 30 ml olive oil
  • 10 ml balsamic vinegar
  • salt
  • pepper

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Blender
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. To poach the egg, bring a pot of water and vinegar to the boil. As soon as the water is boiling, turn the heat to low, stir with a whisk, and carefully add the egg to the whirl of water. Cook until it is the desired consistency.
  2. Another way to poach an egg is to break it into a plastic bag, add some neutral oil, and tie the bag with a knot. Boil in water for a few minutes. When the egg is ready, cut the bag, and voila – you have a poached egg without much hassle.
  3. Blend the berries and add the olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the lettuce mix on a plate, tear the mozzarella ball, or cut it into pieces and place it on top, then add the pomegranate, poached egg, and blueberry vinaigrette.
