Begin by preparing the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them into quarters. Place them on top of the salad in a neat arrangement.
Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it thinly. Add the avocado slices to the salad.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber, adding them evenly across the salad.

Roughly chop the unsalted almonds and add them as a crunchy topping.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad just before serving to maintain freshness.
Toss the salad gently to combine ingredients and serve immediately for best results.
