Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by placing 4 large eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water, ensuring there's about an inch above the eggs. Heat the pot over high heat until the water reaches a rolling boil, about 8-10 minutes. Cover with a lid and remove from heat to let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, slice 2 ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to gently mash the avocados for a creamy yet chunky consistency.
- Add in 0.5 cup of chopped red onion, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, and a handful of chopped cilantro to the mashed avocados. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime and drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the mixture. Gently fold everything together.
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to cool for about 5 minutes, making peeling easier.
- Peel the cooled eggs under running water, chop into bite-sized pieces, and fold them into the avocado mixture.
- Sprinkle the salad with salt and pepper to taste, adding red pepper flakes if desired. Toss gently.
- Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning or lime juice. Serve the salad in a dish or mixing bowl.

Notes
Using fresh eggs and ripe avocados enhances flavor and texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days. Avoid freezing for best texture.
