Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and toss each pile separately. Let stand for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.

2. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the saucepan and reduce the heat to moderate. Simmer the eggs for 6 minutes. Pour off the hot water and gently shake the eggs in the pan to crack the shells. Fill the pan with cold water and let stand for 1 minute. Carefully peel the eggs. Reheat the peeled eggs for 2 minutes in 2 inches of simmering water. Drain and pat dry then halve the eggs.

3. Arrange the vegetables on plates and top with the toasts and the soft-boiled eggs. Sprinkle the eggs and salads with fleur de sel and serve.
