  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 tbsp chopped almonds
  • 1 tsp olive oil (or to taste)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Egg: Boil the egg for 7 minutes to achieve a firm but slightly creamy yolk. Once cooked, set it aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the Base: On a plate or in a bowl, add the cottage cheese evenly as the salad base.
  3. Add Cucumber: Sprinkle the diced cucumber over the cottage cheese to add a refreshing crunch.
  4. Slice the Avocado: Cut the avocado into slices or cubes and arrange them on top of the salad.
  5. Add Smoked Salmon: Place the 2-3 slices of smoked salmon neatly over the avocado and cottage cheese layer.
  6. Prepare the Egg: Peel the boiled egg and cut it in half, or chop/slice it according to your preference, then add it to the salad.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped chives and chopped almonds over the entire salad to add flavor and texture.
  8. Season: Drizzle olive oil over the salad, and season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  9. Serve: Serve the salad immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Boil the egg to your preferred doneness if you want it softer or harder than 7 minutes.
  • Use fresh smoked salmon for the best flavor.
  • You can substitute almonds with walnuts or pecans if preferred.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the creamy texture of cottage cheese and avocado.
  • Adjust olive oil quantity based on your dietary needs and taste preference.
