Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 medium avocado
• 3 cups baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 9 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, and chop the avocado into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Finely chop the fresh parsley and mince the garlic clove.

Step 4

Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to an ice water bath to cool. Peel the shells once the eggs are completely cool and slice them into quarters.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, layer the baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and sliced boiled eggs.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve immediately for the freshest flavor. This salad pairs well with a slice of whole-grain bread or as a side dish for a heart-healthy meal.
