Cucumber Breakfast Salad with Jammy Eggs

I don't eat the standard breakfast foods for breakfast. "What's that?" you ask. Well, for starters, I like soup. I have often made (re-heated, actually) a bean or pea soup and had it with additions such as rice, more/different beans, shrooms, tofu, and the like. I also eat salads such as cucumber, mixed green, or gains such as barley or kasha. The latter might be construed more as hot cereal, which is not an unusual offering.
Today, while looking through a Google search, I chanced upon cucumber salad for breakfast. "Queer!" you might ejaculate (as did I). So I opened the page to look at the creation. The hard-cooked eggs looked a tad bit runny, the recipe uses a Persian cucumber (not my choice), cumin (no thank you, it smells like armpit), cilantro (no thank you, it tastes like soap), avocado (not crazy about the taste), Greek style yogurt (uh, I prefer the kind that isn't Greek), and coriander (not in my spice rack).
One of the nice things about exploring food options when you're on a diet is that most people are NOT interested in sharing whatever it is on your plate. Of course, if your diet requires you to weigh and measure everything accurately, you wouldn't be sharing anything from your plate in the first place. But I certainly have had my share of curiosity on the menu such as TVP balls with the pasta, cubaces with rice, Sauerbraten made from tempeh...
Life is full of surprises.
