Egg and Avocado Salad (Ensalada De Huevo Con Aguacate)

Submitted by Chef #928625

"A salad made of hard boiled eggs and avocado ,one of my favorite flavor combinations.The richness of the avocado and the egg yolks call for nothing more than a drizzle of olive oil,a dash of vinegar,and some fresh pepper.A perfect example of good ingredients that don't need to be fussed with to bring out their best.This serves 4 as a light lunch or 8 as an appetizer.I found this recipe on Guiadetacos.com."

3. Cut each acocado in quarters; place a boiled egg quarter into the hole left by the pit in each avocado slice.
4. Place a lettuce leaf on each plate,and top with a peice of avocado and egg.You may wish to give a whole half to each person and serve as a light main course.
5. Whisk together oil and vinegar and pour over avocados;sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
6. Another option is to simple chop the eggs and avocado,dress in oil and vinegar,and serve over the lettuce in a serving bowl.It looks a little less elegant,but it is much easier and the flavors meld better.The Choice is yours.
