This warm lentil salad with sunny-side up eggs is a vibrant and nutritious vegetarian dish that works beautifully for brunch or a light midweek supper. The earthy lentils are simmered with tomatoes, carrots, and celery, then tossed in a reduced savoury glaze that concentrates the flavours. Fresh thyme and tarragon add a sophisticated herbal note, while the runny egg yolk provides a rich, natural sauce that coats the mixed salad leaves.
Packed with plant-based protein and fibre, this heart-healthy salad is both satisfying and light. The combination of warm pulses and crisp, dressed greens creates a lovely contrast in texture and temperature. Serve each portion with a toasted whole-wheat pita on the side to scoop up the delicious juices and golden yolk for a truly comforting homemade meal.

How to make Sunny-Side Up Lentil Salad
Back to contentsBoil 725ml water, tomatoes, onion, lentils, celery, carrot and thyme in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until lentils are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; reserve cooking liquid. Return liquid to pan; boil over high heat to reduce liquid to 60ml . Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and lentil mixture to liquid; stir over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon tarragon; season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat but keep warm. Whisk remaining 1/2 tablespoons vinegar in a bowl with mustard and oil; add salt and pepper. Coat a medium skillet with cooking spray; set over medium heat. Carefully add eggs so yolks remain whole; cook until whites are set; add salt and pepper. Toss lettuces with mustard dressing; divide evenly among 4 plates. Top greens with 1/4 lentils and 1 egg each; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon tarragon.
