Why this works
A protein-rich, moderately filling salad with healthy unsaturated fats, but the added salt makes it relatively high in sodium.
High-quality protein. Eggs provide complete protein, supporting satiety and muscle repair, with around 12.7 g per serving.
Heart-healthy fats. Avocado contributes mainly monounsaturated fats, which can support a healthier lipid profile when eaten as part of a balanced diet.
Sodium concern. Half a teaspoon of salt across two servings makes this dish relatively high in sodium, at about 640 mg per serving.
Method
- Boil the eggs for 9 minutes, then cool, peel, and chop them.
- Halve the avocado, remove the stone, scoop out the flesh, and mash roughly with lemon juice.
- Fold the chopped eggs through the avocado mixture and season lightly.
- Serve on toast, in lettuce cups, or straight from the bowl.
