Easy Avocado & Egg Salad

Ingredients (makes 2 servings)

• 4 large eggs
• 1 large avocado (200 g/ 7.1 oz)
• 4 cups mixed lettuce such as lamb lettuce, arugula, etc. (120 g/ 4.2 oz)
• ¹/₂ cup soured cream or full-fat yogurt (115 g/ 4.1 oz) or ¹/₄ cup mayonnaise (you can make your own)
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard (you can make your own)
• sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
• Optional: chives, fresh herbs and extra virgin olive oil for garnish

Instructions

1. Start by cooking the eggs. Fill a small saucepan with water up to three quarters. Add a good pinch of salt. This will prevent the eggs from cracking. Bring to a boil. Using a spoon or hand, dip each egg in and out of the boiling water - be careful not to get burnt. This will prevent the egg from cracking as the temperature change won't be so dramatic. To get the eggs hard-boiled, you need round 10 minutes. This timing works for large eggs. When done, remove from the heat and place in a bowl filled with cold water. I always use my egg timer. When the eggs are chilled, peel off the shells.
2. Make the dressing by mixing the soured cream, crushed garlic and Dijon mustard and season with salt and pepper.
3. Place washed and drained greens in a serving bowl and mix with the dressing. Halve, deseed, peel and slice the avocado and place on top of the greens.
4. Add the quartered eggs and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Best served immediately but can be stored in the fridge for up to a day.
