Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2-3 slices smoked salmon
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 tbsp chopped almonds
  • 1 tsp olive oil (or to taste)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook the egg: Boil the egg for about 7 minutes to achieve a perfectly cooked yet slightly soft yolk. Once done, set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Add cottage cheese base: On a plate or in a bowl, spread the cottage cheese evenly to form the base of the salad.
  3. Add cucumber: Sprinkle the diced cucumber over the cottage cheese to add a fresh crunch.
  4. Prepare and add avocado: Cut the avocado into slices or cubes and arrange it on top of the cucumber and cottage cheese mixture.
  5. Layer smoked salmon: Place 2-3 slices of smoked salmon over the avocado for a smoky, savory flavor.
  6. Add the egg: Cut the boiled egg in half or slice it as preferred, then place on top of the salad.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped chives and chopped almonds over the entire salad for an extra pop of color and texture.
  8. Season: Drizzle olive oil evenly over the salad, then season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  9. Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and creamy textures.

Notes

  • Boiling the egg for 7 minutes yields a firm yet slightly creamy yolk, but adjust timing according to your preference.
  • Use fresh smoked salmon for the best flavor.
  • You can substitute almonds with walnuts or pecans if preferred.
  • This salad is best enjoyed immediately to preserve freshness and texture.
  • Adjust olive oil and seasoning based on dietary needs and taste preferences.
