Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total: 25 minutes
Servings: 2

Necessary ingredients:

- 1/2 zucchini
- 1 mini sweet potato
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 egg
- 1/4 avocado
- Coconut oil
- 4 green asparagus tips
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Lemon juice
- Freshly ground black pepper
- A handful of mixed salad leaves
- Seeds from 1/2 pomegranate
- Red currants (for garnish)
- 1/4 cucumber
- Oil mix (optional: sunflower, flaxseed, and rapeseed)
- Celtic salt with aromatic herbs

Step by Step Preparation:

1. Preparing the Ingredients:
Start by washing all the vegetables well. Use a mandoline to slice the zucchini and sweet potato into very thin slices. The thinner they are, the more evenly and quickly they will cook. Slice the garlic clove into thin slices; this will add a flavorful and delicious taste to your dish.

2. Sautéing the Vegetables:
In a large skillet, heat a little coconut oil over medium to high heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic slices and let them sauté for 1-2 minutes until golden and aromatic. Then add the sliced zucchini and sweet potato. Sauté the vegetables for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft. If the slices are thicker, it may take a few extra minutes.

3. Cooking the Egg:
Once the vegetables are softened, push them to the edge of the skillet to make room for an egg. Add a little coconut oil in the empty part of the skillet, crack the egg, and use a spatula to break it into long strips. Mix the egg with the vegetables and add Celtic salt and pepper to taste.

4. Preparing the Asparagus:
In a small pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and let it boil for 4 minutes. When ready, remove it and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Season the asparagus with salt and extra virgin olive oil.

5. Assembling the Salad:
In a bowl, combine the mixed salad leaves with the pomegranate seeds and diced cucumber. Drizzle the salad with lemon juice and a little extra virgin olive oil.

6. Serving:
Transfer the vegetable and egg mixture onto plates, placing the avocado slices on top for a creamy touch. Add the boiled asparagus and fresh salad. Garnish with red currants for an extra burst of color and flavor.

Serving Suggestions:
This breakfast can be served alongside a cup of aromatic green tea or a smoothie with fresh fruits for an energizing start to the day. Also, if you want to add a crunchy touch, you can sprinkle some nuts or pumpkin seeds on top of the salad.
