Hard-Boiled Egg White Salad

  • Time: 20 minutes
  • Servings: 1
  • Serving Size: 6.0 ounces
  • Stage: Post-Recovery

INGREDIENTS:

  • Egg, whole - 3 large (150 grams)
  • Grape tomatoes - 40 grams or 1.4 oz
  • Avocado - 1/3 small-medium (33 grams)
  • Hemps seeds - 1 tsp (3 grams)
  • Sea salt - 1/8 tsp
  • Black pepper - 1/8 tsp

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. To boil the eggs, place them in a large pot (make sure to have a lid for it) and cover them with water plus 1-2 inches. Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low or simmer and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Once done, drain the water (be careful because it will be hot), and replace it with cold water. Let them cool down for a minute or two.
  3. Peel the boiled eggs and discard the yolk. Chop them into chunks and add them to a bowl.
  4. Chop the tomatoes and avocado and add them to the same bowl.
  5. Garnish with the hemp seeds, sea salt and black pepper. Serve and enjoy!

*Note: Boiled eggs stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, so you could try making double or triple the amount of eggs and store them to repeat this recipe later during the week. Just store them separately and in a sealed container. You can freeze the unused avocado (peeled and chopped) to better preserve it and lightly microwave it before use.
