Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado, diced
2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup mixed leafy greens (arugula, spinach, or lettuce)
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: A sprinkle of sunflower seeds or chopped nuts for crunch
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing and prepping your vegetables. Slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. If you haven’t already, boil the eggs, peel them, and slice them into rounds. Dice the avocado last to prevent it from browning.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, add the mixed leafy greens. Layer the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion on top. Add the sliced hard-boiled eggs and diced avocado.
Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Drizzle this dressing over the salad, tossing gently to combine everything.
Serve: If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of sunflower seeds or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This salad is best enjoyed immediately to preserve the freshness of the ingredients. Serve it chilled or at room temperature for optimal taste.
Storage: If you need to store leftovers, keep the dressing separate to avoid wilting the greens. Store the salad components in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. However, it’s best to eat it as soon as possible for the freshest taste, particularly the avocado.
