Egg and avocado breakfast salad


Ingredients

Serves 1

  • 2 eggs, hard boiled, shell removed and halved

  • Handful of watercress

  • 3 cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

  • handful of pumpkin seeds

  • 1/2 tbsp basil olive oil (optional)

  • handful of blueberries served in a separate pot


Hard boil your eggs. I like mine jammy, so I add room temperature eggs to a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring water to the boil, once boiling, set a timer for 5 minutes and allow them to cook on a gentle boil. Immediately rinse the eggs under cold water until the shell feels cool to the touch.

Add a handful of watercress to your plate. Add the eggs, tomato and avocado.

sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds and drizzle over the basil olive oil if using.

serve with the pot of blueberries on the side to eat afterwards.
