Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 large eggs (hard-boiled)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 ripe avocado<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 cups fresh spinach leaves (washed and dried)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tablespoon olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt, to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black pepper, to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 teaspoon garlic powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional: 1\/4 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 1\/4 cup red onion (finely chopped), fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Begin by boiling your eggs. Place them in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    then reduce to a simmer for about 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool before peeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the eggs are cooling, wash and dry the spinach leaves. You can use baby spinach or regular spinach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    depending on what you prefer. Gently tear or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Next, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired level of smoothness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    adding a little lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance the flavor. If you prefer a chunkier texture, leave some small pieces of avocado intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Peel and chop the cooled eggs into small pieces. Add them to the bowl with the mashed avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Gently mix the eggs and avocado together, making sure they are well incorporated but still maintaining some texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To dress the salad, drizzle in olive oil and add Dijon mustard, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a bit more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    lemon juice to taste. Stir everything together, ensuring the dressing coats the eggs and avocado evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At this stage, add the fresh spinach to the egg and avocado mixture. Toss the spinach lightly so it\u2019s distributed throughout the salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re adding any additional ingredients like cherry tomatoes, red onion, or herbs, fold them in gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Serve the salad on its own, on top of a bed of greens, or spread it on whole grain toast for a filling, nutrient-packed meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Make<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Start by gathering your ingredients. Boil the eggs and let them cool before peeling and chopping them into small pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Prepare the spinach by washing and tearing it into bite-sized pieces. Mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice and seasonings to create a smooth base for the salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once the eggs are chopped, add them to the mashed avocado and mix well. The creamy avocado will coat the eggs, creating a rich and flavorful combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Season the mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a dash of lemon juice to bring out the flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For an extra layer of flavor, whisk in Dijon mustard and olive oil. The mustard adds a tangy, zesty kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    while the olive oil helps to blend the ingredients together and adds a smooth texture. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, gently fold in the spinach leaves. You don\u2019t want to overwork the spinach, as it can wilt or lose its vibrant color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re including optional ingredients like diced cherry tomatoes or finely chopped red onion, now is the time to add them for extra freshness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once everything is mixed together, your avocado and spinach egg salad is ready to serve. You can enjoy it right away or refrigerate it for a few hours to let the flavors meld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To make peeling hard-boiled eggs easier, add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water before boiling. This can help the eggs peel more smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For extra creaminess, use a ripe avocado that\u2019s not too firm. The smoother the avocado, the creamier your salad will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you like a bit of crunch, consider adding roasted nuts or seeds, such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    to your salad just before serving. This adds a nice texture contrast to the creamy eggs and avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re preparing this ahead of time, store the salad in an airtight container to keep it fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The avocado may brown over time so consider preparing the avocado and mixing it with the eggs just before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can customize this salad to suit your dietary preferences by using dairy-free mustard or olive oil if you\u2019re following a vegan or dairy-free lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a little balsamic glaze or vinegar on top of the salad before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This adds a nice balance of sweetness and acidity that complements the creamy avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as dill, basil, or chives, to find the perfect flavor combination for your salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Avocado and spinach egg salad offers a fresh, flavorful, and satisfying way to enjoy a classic dish with a healthy twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its simplicity and versatility make it an ideal addition to any meal or snack, and it\u2019s easy to adjust according to your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you\u2019re preparing it for yourself or serving it to others, this salad is sure to impress with its vibrant colors and delicious flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s a nourishing option that\u2019s perfect for any occasion, from a quick weekday lunch to a special gathering with friends and family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
