Step-by-Step

Step 1: Prepare the Eggs

1. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil and carefully lower the eggs into the water.

2. Boil for 9–10 minutes for perfectly cooked, firm yet creamy yolks. Once cooked, transfer the eggs into an ice bath immediately to stop the cooking process. Peel and slice the eggs into halves or quarters once cooled.

Step 2: Chop and Slice

1. While the eggs are cooling, carefully dice the ripe avocados into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they maintain their shape.

2. Halve the cherry tomatoes to expose their juicy interiors and thinly slice the red onion into delicate slivers to add a mild, tangy crunch.

Step 3: Toss it Together

1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the avocado chunks, hard-boiled egg pieces, halved cherry tomatoes, and slivered red onion.

2. Drizzle the mixture with freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice to brighten the flavors and prevent the avocado from browning. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and gently toss everything together using a soft spatula to avoid mashing the avocado.
