Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs

Salad Mix

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Dressing & Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: A pinch of red pepper flakes for added spice

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with water until fully submerged. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the eggs off the heat: Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit, covered, for 10-12 minutes to cook through.
  3. Prepare the avocado mixture: While the eggs cook, halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado slightly, keeping some chunks for texture.
  4. Add vegetables and herbs: Add the finely chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro into the bowl with the mashed avocado.
  5. Make the dressing: Drizzle lime juice and olive oil over the avocado mixture, then gently combine all ingredients to distribute flavors evenly.
  6. Cool and peel the eggs: Drain the hot water from the eggs and transfer them to an ice water bath for about 5 minutes to cool and make peeling easier.
  7. Chop and add eggs: Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Add the chopped eggs to the avocado mixture.
  8. Season and finish: Season the salad with salt, pepper, and if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes. Gently toss everything together until well mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Notes

  • For easier peeling, place boiled eggs in ice water immediately after cooking.
  • You can add more lime juice to brighten flavors if desired.
  • Red pepper flakes add a lovely spice but can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
  • Use ripe avocados for creamy texture and better flavor.
