Instructions

Prepare the Eggs: Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them completely with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the Eggs: Once the water reaches a rolling boil, cover the pot with a lid, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes to cook through.
Mash Avocado: While the eggs are cooking, halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to slightly mash the avocado to a creamy texture.
Add Vegetables and Herbs: Add the finely chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the avocado. Drizzle the lime juice and olive oil over the mixture, then gently stir to combine all ingredients.
Cool and Peel Eggs: After the eggs have cooked, carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes, which helps with peeling.
Chop Eggs: Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces, then add them to the avocado and vegetable mixture.
Season and Toss: Season the salad with salt, pepper, and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat. Gently toss everything together to combine all flavors well.
Serve: Your vibrant Workout Egg Avocado Salad is ready to be enjoyed as a refreshing meal or a light, energizing snack.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for a creamy texture and rich flavor.
Optional red pepper flakes add a spicy kick, but can be omitted for a milder taste.
The salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a day.
For extra crunch, add some chopped celery or cucumber.
Adjust lime juice and seasoning to taste to balance acidity and saltiness.
