• Red onion – ¼ cup, finely chopped

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Avocado Egg Salad with Cherry Tomatoes & Red Onion

Step 1: Prepare the Base Ingredients

  1. Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 9–10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool before peeling and quartering.

  2. Dice the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Dice into medium-sized cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Assemble the Salad

  1. Combine Fresh Ingredients: Add the halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped parsley or cilantro to the bowl with avocado.

  2. Add the Eggs: Gently fold in the quartered boiled eggs to avoid breaking them too much.

Step 3: Dress and Season

  1. Drizzle and Toss: Squeeze the juice of one lemon or lime over the salad. Optionally, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle in a pinch of chili flakes if desired.

  2. Season to Taste: Add salt and freshly cracked black pepper to your liking. Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated, taking care not to mash the avocado.

Notes

Cooking Note

• This salad is best served immediately to enjoy the vibrant flavors and texture of the avocado before it begins to brown.
• If preparing ahead, store the chopped ingredients separately and mix just before serving.
• To keep avocados from oxidizing, squeeze extra lemon or lime juice over the top.
