Ingredients

• 4 cups mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, and romaine)
• 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Spring Berry and Avocado Salad

1. Begin by soft-boiling the eggs. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and gently add the eggs. Boil for 6-7 minutes for a slightly runny yolk. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process. Peel and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and sliced cucumber.
3. Add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and avocado on top of the greens.
4. Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad. Gently toss to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and place them on top of the salad.
7. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and creaminess.
• For perfectly soft-boiled eggs, adjust the cooking time based on your preference for yolk consistency.
• Feel free to add more seasonal vegetables, such as radishes or bell peppers, for extra crunch.
• Always wash your greens and berries thoroughly before use.

Easy Variations

• Swap out feta cheese for goat cheese or omit it for a dairy-free option.
• Add nuts like walnuts or almonds for an extra crunch and healthy fats.
• Incorporate grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
• Use different salad greens, such as kale or mixed baby greens, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
• A side of crusty bread or a warm baguette.
• A light soup, such as tomato or zucchini bisque.
• Sparkling water with lemon or a light white wine.

This salad is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store the salad components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The greens and berries will last for about 2 days, while the soft-boiled eggs should be consumed within 1-2 days. Avoid dressing the salad until you’re ready to eat to keep it crisp.
