Step-by-Step Instructions for Egg Avocado Salad
- Start by placing 4 large eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water, ensuring they're submerged by about an inch. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil, which should take about 8–10 minutes. Once boiling, quickly cover the pot, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes to cook perfectly.
- While the eggs are cooking, slice 2 ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado gently, leaving some chunky bits for texture.
- Finely chop 1/2 red onion and halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes. Add these vibrant ingredients to the bowl with the mashed avocado, along with 1/4 cup of freshly chopped cilantro. Toss gently, allowing their colors and flavors to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour this zesty dressing over the avocado mixture, ensuring even distribution of flavors. Gently fold everything together.
- Once the eggs have finished cooking, transfer them to an ice water bath for about 5 minutes. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface, peel the shells, and chop the eggs into bite-sized pieces to add to your salad.
- Fold the chopped boiled eggs into the avocado mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste, and if desired, sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat. Stir lightly to combine.
- Taste your Egg Avocado Salad and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.
