    Pro tips for making best Egg and Avocado Salad

    1. Use fresh and clean ingredients like eggs, avocados, veggies for salads as some of them are to be consumed raw.
    2. Wash the raw ingredients thoroughly and make sure all the dirt particles are removed.
    3. Cut and add the avocado at the last moment before mixing the salad so that it does not turn brown and look unappealing.

    Ingredients

    • Eggs: I prefer to use fresh and organic eggs which are hard boiled. You can use either White or Brown Eggs.
    • Avocado : I used medium sized, ripe Hass Avocado. Cut the avocado just before mixing the salad. If you have already cut it, cover it with lemon juice to prevent from oxidizing.
    • Veggies : I used mini Cucumbers, tomatoes, green lettuce and red onions. More the colors, healthier the salad. Feel free to use your favorite veggies.
    • Herbs : Fresh mint and cilantro are my favorite for this combination.
    • Olive Oil and lemon Dressing : This dressing adds terrific flavors to this salad. Combine best quality extra virgin Italian olive oil, dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper.
    • Super easy super delish dressing is surefire awesome. You can also add dried or fresh herbs like chives, dill, or parsley. Skip oil if you want to make it WFPB.

    Variations

    Different dressings: You can also use Caesar salad dressing or avocado cilantro dressing
    Add grains: Quinoa, barley, couscous or Farro are great choices.
    Protein change : You can add chickpeas or beans or lentils instead of eggs and keep it vegan.
    Add Cheese / extra protein
    Additional veggies : Artichokes, olives, carrots, broccoli, kale, arugula, baby spinach are good options.

    Ingredients used in the recipe arranged in the bowl.
