Toss the arugula, watercress, tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Drizzle over the salad and toss. Divide the tossed salad among 4 plates.

Add 1 inch of water and ½ teaspoon of salt to a 10-inch saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and keep at a simmer. Break 2 eggs into a small bowl. Carefully pour the eggs into the hot water and repeat until all the eggs are in the saucepan. Cover and let the eggs poach for about 3 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the water and place directly on the salad. Sprinkle with black pepper (or cayenne if you like it spicy hot).
