Salad - Spring salad with egg and avocado by Vera K. - Recipia

Spring salad with egg and avocado: the vegetables stay raw, and the egg is hard-boiled. The radishes and cucumber keep the salad crunchy, the avocado adds soft cubes, and the mushrooms from a jar and peppers give each forkful a different texture; with a spring salad, add as much vinegar as you like. I choose a ripe but still firm avocado so I can cut it into cubes without crushing it. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 9 minutes. Resting: 10 minutes. Total time: 39 minutes. Serves: 2.

Ingredients

1 lettuce
1 tomato
2 green onions
4 radishes
1 carrot
1 cucumber
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 avocado
100 g mushrooms from a jar (drained)
1 egg
1000 ml water
3 g salt
30 ml oil
15 ml vinegar

Preparation

1. Bring 1000 ml of water to a boil. Add the egg and boil it for 9 minutes, until the yolk is set. Leave it to cool for 10 minutes, then peel it. 2. Wash the vegetables and lettuce. Cut the tomato, radishes, cucumber, red pepper, yellow pepper and green onions into cubes of a suitable size. Tear the lettuce into strips and grate the carrot. 3. Put the vegetables and lettuce in a large bowl. Wash and peel the avocado, cut it into cubes and add it. Drain the mushrooms from the jar and put them in the bowl. Cut the egg into rounds and arrange them on top. 4. Add 3 g of salt, 30 ml of oil and 15 ml of vinegar. Mix gently and serve immediately.

Notes

The salad is best freshly tossed; if you make it ahead, keep the avocado and dressing separate, and refrigerate any leftovers for no more than a day. You can swap the yellow pepper for a green one or leave out the mushrooms; the salad contains egg. Serve it with toast, good for mopping up the juices left in the bowl. Choose an avocado that gives slightly when pressed but isn't soft all over, and cut it just before mixing. If the radishes or cucumber are wet after washing, dry them well so they don't leave water in the bowl. The lettuce leaves stay crunchier if you tear them into wider strips.

Frequently asked questions

How do I boil an egg with a soft yolk?

Boil it for 6-7 minutes after adding it to boiling water, then leave it to cool before peeling.

Can I use fresh mushrooms instead of the ones from a jar?

Yes. Slice 100 g of mushrooms and cook them in a dry pan for 6-8 minutes, until they no longer release liquid; let them cool before adding them to the bowl.

Does romaine lettuce work too?

Yes, you can use one romaine heart weighing about 200 g. Cut the leaves into strips and mix them with the other vegetables.
