Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs

Salad Mixture

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

Dressing

  • 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 fully with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the eggs off the heat: Once boiling, immediately cover the pot with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit covered for 10-12 minutes to cook through gently.
  3. Prepare the avocado mixture: While the eggs are cooking, halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado lightly, leaving 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 the lime juice and olive oil over the avocado mixture. Gently combine all the ingredients to evenly distribute the flavors.
  6. Cool and peel the eggs: Drain the hot water from the eggs and transfer them into an ice water bath for about 5 minutes to cool and make peeling easier.
  7. Chop and add eggs: Peel the cooled eggs carefully, then chop them into bite-sized pieces and add them to the avocado mixture.
  8. Season and finish: Season the salad with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Toss gently until everything is well mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • The ice water bath helps make peeling the eggs easier and prevents overcooking.
  • You can add more lime juice or olive oil according to your taste preferences.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional, but add a nice spicy kick.
  • This salad can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, although avocados may brown slightly.
