Instructions
Add all the ingredients for the everything bagel dressing except the oil to a small bowl. Whisk together to combine.
Next whisk in the oil in a thin steady stream until completely combined. Or shake the dressing together in a mason jar with a lid. The dressing may separate as it sits, simply whisk or shake it back together.
Next, prep the veggies and divide the greens, green onions, basil, and cherry tomatoes between 2 plates.
Cook the sausage of your choice as well as 1-2 over easy eggs per person. When the sausage and eggs are done, place them on top of the salad.
Sprinkle with a little everything bagel seasoning, add the sliced avocado, and drizzle as much of the dressing as you'd like over each salad. Serve immediately.

Notes
To make your own everything bagel seasoning combine: 1 Tablespoon poppy seeds, 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds, 1 Tablespoon black sesame seeds, 1 Tablespoon dried minced garlic, 2 Tablespoons dried minced onion, and 1 Teaspoon sea salt. This makes 1/3 cup which is around 5 Tablespoons.Depending on your appetite you can use more avocado. If we have a super active day ahead we sometimes use a whole avocado for 2 salads.I've been using chicken breakfast sausages, but you can use any breakfast sausage links or patties. I figure on 3-4 ounces per salad, but you can go with as little as 2 ounces since you're also adding eggs to the salad. If you want a lighter salad, use half the amount of sausage and reduce the avocado.Try doubling the dressing recipe to have on hand for your next breakfast salads.
