Ingredients
  

For the Salad Base
  • 4 large eggs A protein powerhouse providing richness and texture; substitute with egg whites for a lower-calorie option.
  • 2 medium avocados Packed with healthy fats; try hummus for a creamy alternative if desired.
  • 1/2 cup red onion Adds a sharp, tangy crunch; yellow or green onions can be used for a milder flavor.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes They provide sweetness and acidity; diced bell peppers or cucumbers can be used for a different crunch.
  • 1/4 cup cilantro Offers a citrusy freshness; parsley can substitute if cilantro’s flavor is too strong.
For Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice Provides acidity to lift flavors and prevent avocado from browning; fresh juice ensures the best taste.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds richness and a silky finish; avocado oil can be used as an alternative.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water until fully submerged. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. While the eggs are cooking, cut the ripe avocados in half and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Mash the avocado slightly, leaving some chunks for texture.
  3. Chop the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the cilantro. Add to the bowl with the mashed avocado, then drizzle in lime juice and olive oil.
  4. Drain the hot water from the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Peel under running water.
  5. Chop the peeled eggs into bite-sized pieces and gently fold them into the avocado mixture.
  6. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve immediately on its own, on toasted bread, or as lettuce wraps. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
