1/4 cup micro-greens
1 soft boiled egg

1 tablespoon honey
1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil

<DIRECTIONS>
- In a medium bowl, add vinegar and ice water, stir to combine, then add sliced red onions. Set aside and let onions soak in the liquid mixture for at least 20 minutes before serving.

- For making soft boiled egg: bring water to a boil over medium-high heat in a pot. Carefully lower an egg into water using a spoon. Cook for about 3 minutes. Transfer the egg into a bowl of ice water and chill until just slightly warm. Then peel the egg shell and slice into half before serving.
- In a small bowl, add honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and black pepper, then stir to mix and combine well.
- On a serving plate, pile up all of the salad ingredients on top and pour the honey balsamic vinaigrette over, then toss to combine a bit with a fork. That’s it! Dig in to enjoy!
