How to Make Smoked Salmon Boiled Egg Salad with Lemon Dressing
1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and once the water begins to boil, use a large spoon to lower the eggs into the water. Ensure there is enough water to cover the eggs. Boil the eggs for 8 minutes then remove them from the saucepan with a large spoon and place them in a bowl with cold water for 1 minute. Peel the eggs and set aside to completely cool.
2. Between the 2 serving bowls, arrange the washed baby spinach, watercress and rocket leaves. Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and sliced avocado then add the smoked salmon and the boiled eggs. In a small bowl, mix the ingredients for the dressing and drizzle over the salads then serve.
Recipe Tips
- When I make this salad, I usually have my eggs soft. This takes approximately 8 minutes. If you prefer your eggs hard boiled then boil your eggs for 10 minutes.
