Directions:Place salad ingredients in a bowl. You can sub packaged spinach and swap Romaine for the leaf lettuce to save time, if you like.
For dressing, combine all ingredients but the egg and bring to a boil. Slowly add the egg, which will form egg ribbons as it hits the hot dressing and make a wonderful consistency in the final salad. Cook the dressing down, perhaps 10 minutes. While still warm, toss dressing with greens until coated. Top with almonds. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately. |

Notes: Originally found to accompany a Caribbean chicken recipe I was trying, this was the dish that immediately became the shining star. It has been made many times since, including a Caribbean dinner Mom (Jan Flynn) planned at Uncle Ford's the summer of 2010 and is hands-down my husband's all-time favorite salad.
