Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 small red onion
- 1 medium avocado
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9 minutes for fully set yolks.
While the eggs cook, rinse and dry the mixed salad greens and set them aside in a large bowl.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Add them to the salad greens.
Peel and slice the cucumber thinly and add it to the salad.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion, then add to the salad.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into cubes. Add the avocado to the salad as well.
When the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs and cut each egg into quarters. Add to the salad bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the salad for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Classic Boiled Egg Salad!
