Spinach, Pepper & Egg Salad

Is that an incredibly muscly Michael Cera next to me? Has he been cast in a super hero movie that I don't know about & been told to bulk up? What super hero would he be? A tender super hero. A tender, nerdy super hero. One who makes sharp cultural references & seems nervous most of the time. With muscles. No, probably not. But it least it keeps my mind of the fact that it looks like I peed my pants. I didn't. I just wore grey leggings to bikram yoga. It's 110 in here. I'm sweating.

This salad is packed with protein, isn't too heavy and is substantial enough to refuel after a sweaty work out with Michael Cera lookalikes. And it only takes a few minutes to stir up, so that doesn't hurt either.

Spinach, Pepper & Egg Salad, for 1
1 c. raw baby spinach
1/4 c. cooked pepper & onion*
1 egg
olive oil to taste
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Toss the pepper & spinach together & set aside. Meanwhile, fry the egg in a bit of oil until just done, about 3 minutes. Top the salad with the egg & a bit more oil, salt & pepper.

*2 small baby bell peppers & 1/4 - 1/2 yellow onion, cooked over low heat in a bit of oil & salt for about 20 minutes.
