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
- Cook the egg to your liking. Boiling for 7 minutes is recommended for a soft-boiled egg.
- Set the egg aside to cool slightly.
- On a plate or in a bowl, add the cottage cheese as the base.
- Top the cottage cheese with the diced cucumber.
- Cut the avocado into slices or cubes and add them to the salad.
- Add the slices of smoked salmon over the avocado.
- Peel and cut the boiled egg in half (or slice/chop as preferred) and add it to the salad.
- Sprinkle with chopped chives and chopped almonds for added flavor and crunch.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra fiber, add a handful of spinach or arugula to the base.
- If you’re not a fan of smoked salmon, try substituting with grilled chicken or turkey.
- Use a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative if you prefer to avoid dairy.
- For a plant-based option, skip the egg and salmon, and add extra veggies like roasted chickpeas or tofu.
- Add a sprinkle of chili flakes or drizzle sriracha for a spicy kick.
- Use other types of nuts such as walnuts or pistachios in place of almonds for a different texture.
