This is a sponsored post. I recieved Brianna’s dressing for free for my honest review. Opinions listed in this post are 100% my own. I just love this dressing!
Baby Cucumbers
I created this recipe because I wanted to use those little baby cocktail cucumbers I’ve been seeing the stores. They are so tasty and I love that they are small so simply slicing them creates bite size cucumber pieces. Less cutting means a shorter prep time and as a busy mom I can take all the extra time I can get.
The Salad is Green
Briannas Homestyle Creamy Cilantro Lime dressing is green which makes this a green salad but without lettuce! The avocado and egg yokes add to the fun light green color of this salad. The cilantro lime salad dressing is so tasty mixed with ripe avocado too. Make sure to choose a ripe avocado so it blends nicely. As you stir this salad, some of the egg yolks mash and blend with the dressing and avocado to make a very yummy and creamy dressing. Some avocado chunks will remain, but some of the surfaces of the chopped avocado pieces will blend into the dressing as it is stirred. I love the light green color in conjunction with the red and orange colored tomatoes and dark green cucumber peels peeking through.
Ways to Eat it
This side salad could be eaten as a side dish to accompany a meat entree or it could be spread on a croissant to make a sandwich. Either way is delicious and I enjoy it both ways. I also love eating it on a croissant because it gives the traditional egg salad sandwich a fun and scrumptious twist.
It is best to eat it the day you make it as the avocado in the dressing begins to to turn brown the next day, however it was still just as tasty the second day even if slighly brown. Add this salad to any meal for an extra dose of veggies and protein.
