How to Make Workout Egg Avocado Salad

Start by boiling your eggs until perfectly cooked, then let them cool before peeling and chopping them into bite-sized pieces.

While the eggs are cooling, prepare your vegetables by slicing the tomatoes, dicing the cucumber, and chopping the onion and herbs.

Cut the avocados into cubes just before assembling to keep them fresh and vibrant.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients gently so everything stays intact and well distributed.

Finish by drizzling olive oil and lemon juice over the salad, seasoning with salt and pepper, and tossing lightly before serving.
