We have been enjoying salads made with our new salad mix greens picked fresh from the garden every day this spring, and the other night we decided to mix things up a bit and use the spinach in a special egg scramble. One of the perks of raising laying hens is always having eggs on hand for a healthy and tasty dinner option.
To make this dish you can basically throw in any veggies/herbs/cheese you have on hand. The key is to get Ducktrap River smoked salmon trimmings to mix in. Pictured here is a west coast brand of salmon that we picked up at Shaws, but I wouldn't recommend this one as it is full of strange sounding preservatives and colorings. You can find the Ducktrap River brand out of Belfast, Maine, at Hannaford grocery stores.

Ingredients
All are to taste
Heat olive oil in pan on medium then add in onions. As they cook, beat eggs in a bowl, adding in a small bit of water. Before the onions are completely soft, add in the spinach. Let the spinach wilt, stirring to mix with the onions. When it has wilted, add in the eggs, chives, cilantro, and salt. Start to scramble the eggs. While they are still a little runny, but before they are set, add in the salmon, cheese, and tomatoes. Continue to scramble until eggs are set. Serve while still warm.

Here we had the Scramble with a side salad with our greens, walnuts, and orange with rice vinegar and olive oil for dressing. Avocado and sunflower seeds are also great additions if you have on hand. We love mixing half orange juice with half seltzer water for a refreshing drink. It makes for a wonderful seasonal meal!
