Meanwhile, cook lentils in a large saucepan of boiling water, following packet instructions, until just tender. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, dressing, spinach and shallots and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Half-fill a medium frying pan with water and heat over medium-high heat until just simmering. Crack 1 egg into a cup, and then carefully slide egg into the pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until white has set but yolk is still soft. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining eggs (you can cook several at once to save time).
