Step-by-Step Instructions
- Place your eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water reaches at least an inch above the eggs. Heat on medium-high until boiling, then cover and remove from heat, letting sit for 10-12 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, slice the ripe avocados in half and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash gently with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Add finely chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and freshly chopped cilantro into the mashed avocado. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, and gently fold together.
- Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them sit for about 5 minutes to cool. Peel under running water for a smooth finish.
- Chop the cooled, peeled eggs into bite-sized pieces and fold them into the avocado mixture without over-mixing.
- Season the salad with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plate and enjoy fresh, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
