Ingredients Needed

• red onion and bell pepper – adds a nice crunch and burst of color to the bowl.
• white balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil – they work together to create a simple dressing that enhances the flavors of this dish.
• seasonings – a little flaky sea salt, fresh cracked pepper and crushed red pepper add a wonderful finishing touch, boosting the flavor and adding just a touch of spice.

How to Make

Basically you boil your eggs and peel them then chop ‘em and toss ‘em with avocado. Add in a little chopped red onion and red bell pepper slices. Add a drizzle of white balsamic vinegar and olive oil and sprinkle on sea salt, ground pepper and crushed red pepper, if using.

Variations & Notes

This egg and avocado bowl is a versatile recipe that can be customized to your liking. Here are some ideas on how to switch up this recipe:

• Add fresh herbs – try adding fresh parsley, dill, chives or cilantro. These fresh herbs will really elevate the flavors of this dish.
• Use different veggies – have different veggies on hand? Use what you have! Celery, white onion, broccoli, spinach or kale would all be great additions.
• Use a different dressing – feel free to skip the olive oil and white balsamic vinegar and use a different dressing. This lemon vinaigrette, balsamic vinaigrette or red wine vinaigrette are all great options. If you want more of a classic egg salad vibe swap the olive oil and vinegar with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt and dijon mustard.

How to Serve

Though this bowl is filling and delicious on its own, you can also pair it with another dish for a more filling meal. Here are some ideas:

How to Store

This bowl is best enjoyed fresh as the avocado will start browning over time due to oxidation, but with these steps, you can enjoy it a little longer! Here’s what I recommend:

• Refrigerate: Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. They should last up to 2 days. If you’re planning to make this ahead of time, it’s best to store the ingredients separately and combine them when you’re ready to eat.
• How to prevent browning: Since this bowl includes avocado, you can squeeze a little fresh lemon juice or lime juice over it to help prevent the avocado from browning. Also, keeping the mixture in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the avocado can help reduce exposure to air and slow down the oxidation process.
