Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 boiled eggs, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the boiled eggs in advance by placing eggs in a pot of cold water, bringing to a boil, then reducing heat and simmering for 7-8 minutes for hard-boiled consistency.
- Once eggs are cooked, immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier. Peel and chop the eggs into small pieces.
- Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry using a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner.
- Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully cut into thin slices or cubes.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes by cutting them vertically to expose their vibrant inner flesh.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a simple dressing.
- In a large salad bowl, gently place the fresh spinach leaves as the base of the salad.
- Arrange the sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped boiled eggs on top of the spinach.
- Drizzle the prepared olive oil and lemon juice dressing evenly over the salad.
- Gently toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are lightly coated with the dressing.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and prevent the spinach from wilting.
Tips
- Egg Perfection: For the most tender boiled eggs, use eggs that are a few days old, as they peel more easily than very fresh eggs.
- Avocado Hack: To prevent browning, add avocado slices just before serving and sprinkle with a little lemon juice.
- Dressing Customization: Feel free to experiment with the dressing by adding herbs like fresh basil or a touch of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- Meal Prep Friendly: You can prepare the ingredients in advance and assemble the salad quickly in the morning.
- Temperature Matters: Serve the salad immediately after dressing to maintain the crisp texture of the spinach and prevent wilting.
- Protein Boost: If you want extra protein, consider adding grilled chicken or smoked salmon to make the salad more substantial.
