Layered Veggie Salad with Eggs & Avocado

Ingredients

  • 4 boiled eggs, sliced
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (or mixed greens)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn (optional)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare all the vegetables by washing, peeling (if needed), and chopping into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large glass bowl or trifle dish, start layering: first lettuce, then cucumbers, tomatoes, red bell pepper, carrots, corn, onion, and avocado.
  3. Add a layer of sliced boiled eggs on top.
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheese if using.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a light dressing.
  6. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
  8. Chill for 20–30 minutes before serving for best flavor.

Do you want me to make this healthy & light (like a no-mayo version) or more classic creamy layered salad with a yogurt/mayo dressing?
