Ingredients
For the Salad:
6 large eggs
2 ripe avocados, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small cucumber, diced
¼ red onion, finely sliced
2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
2 cups chopped lettuce or spinach
For the Dressing:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice (substitute lime juice or Greek yogurt dressing for variety)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Optional Add-ins:
Grilled chicken breast, tuna, feta cheese, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Place eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 9–10 minutes. Transfer eggs to cold water to cool before peeling.
Wash and chop all vegetables: slice cherry tomatoes, dice cucumber, slice red onion, chop fresh herbs, and prepare lettuce or spinach.
Slice avocados in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into bite-sized cubes.
In a large bowl, combine lettuce or spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, avocado, and chopped eggs.
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
Notes
Use perfectly ripe avocados for maximum creaminess and flavor. Substitute plant-based ingredients for vegan diets.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1–2 days. Prevent avocado browning by adding extra lemon juice, covering tightly with plastic wrap, and storing with minimal air exposure.
