  • 1 tsp Honey
  • 4 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 slices whole‑grain bread

    Wash and trim the arugula and field salad, tearing into bite‑sized pieces. Whisk 3 tbsp balsamic with honey, salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2.

    Toast the whole‑grain bread and cut into small cubes for croutons.

  3. 3.

    Bring about 1 l water to a boil, add remaining vinegar, then remove from heat. Crack each egg separately, gently slide it into the warm vinegar mixture with a spoon or cup, and poach for 4–5 minutes (the water should not be boiling).
