Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 apples
  • 8 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup dried figs (about 16 figs or one 7 ounce package)
  • 1 cup croutons (whole grain if available)

Let eggs stand in hot water about 12 minutes. Drain and fill pan with cold water; let sit 10 to 15 minutes. Peel and slice. (If making ahead, refrigerate cooked unpeeled eggs.)
  2. Prepare other ingredients while eggs are cooking and cooling.
  3. Wash, slice, and core apples.
  4. Cut apples and dried figs into bite-sized chunks.
  5. Wash and drain spinach.
  6. To plate, divide ingredients evenly among four plates, top spinach with apples, eggs, dried figs, and croutons. Drizzle with dressing
