Method

  1. Boil the egg in rapidly boiling water for 9 minutes until the yolk is firm, then cool under cold running water and peel.

  2. Wash, dry, and tear the salad greens into large pieces by hand; cut the cucumber4 into 1.5 cm cubes.

  3. Cut the avocado1 in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and dice into 1.5 cm cubes. Dice the egg as well.

  4. Squeeze lemon6 juice into a small bowl, mix with olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a smooth dressing.

  5. In a bowl, combine the greens, cucumber4, avocado1, and egg. Top with drained tuna and drizzle with dressing.

  6. Gently toss with a spoon to avoid mashing the avocado1. Serve immediately with a slice of bread.

Tips

Why it works
Dice avocado and cucumber to the same size so they mix evenly and don’t make the salad unevenly wet or dry. Over-dicing avocado turns it mushy; keep chunks intact for texture.
Substitutions
Use canned sardines (60g) instead of tuna for a stronger flavor; swap whole-grain bread for pita (1 piece) if you prefer. Skip cucumber if you dislike its texture.
Common mistakes
Overmixing turns avocado brown. Stop as soon as it’s just combined. If the salad smells sour, the lemon was added too early; mix dressing last.
Storing and reheating
Eat within 1 day or it wilts; store dressing separately. Reheat eggs and tuna in a dry pan for 2 minutes if serving cold salad later.
Serve with
Pair with a slice of whole-grain toast for crunch and extra fiber. Serve as a light lunch after a hearty breakfast to balance the meal.
