- Pepper
Instructions
- Start by placing your eggs in a pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let them sit for about 12-15 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool before peeling.
- While the eggs are cooling, slice your avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Chop a handful of fresh spinach and halve the cherry tomatoes. Toss them into the bowl with the avocado.
- Once the eggs have cooled, peel them and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Add the eggs to the salad bowl.
- Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything gently until well combined.
- You can serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the fridge for a bit. It’s perfect on its own or served on whole-grain toast or in a wrap.
