Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Large Beet or 1 Small Beet - Boiled
  • 2 Hard Boiled Pasture Raised Eggs
  • 2 Tbsp Dill - Rough chop
  • 1/4 of an Avocado - Cubed
  • 1/4 Red Onion - Finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • First, we start by boiling our eggs. For a full hard boil, Place your eggs in a pot with water and some salt, covering the eggs. Bring the water to a boil and let boil for 10 minutes. Remove from the hot water and place into a bowl of ice water to cool the eggs.
  • Now, we are going to boil the beet. Place your bet in a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Boil for 30-45 minutes, depending on how large your beet is. When the beet is ready you should be able to stab into it with a knife and take the knife back out very easily.
  • When the beet is ready, transfer it to cold water to cool it down, and then rub all the skin off with your hands. It should peel off extremely easily.
  • Once the eggs have cooled off, we will peel them and then chop them up.
  • Take your beet or half beet and chop it up small like the eggs and add it to a mixing bowl.
  • Then add the egg to the bowl as well.
  • Now, we are going to take our dill and give it a rough chop and add it to the bowl.
  • Then, we are going to take 1/4 of an avocado, cube it out and place it into the same bowl.
  • Now, take the 1/4 of red onion and chop it super fine. Add it to the bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, salt and pepper. Add a little salt at a time because you can always add more but you can't take it away after it's in there. Mix it well.
  • You can eat it as is in a bowl or you can toast some sourdough and eat it on it. Or make an egg salad sandwich! YUM!
  • You are done!!! I hope you enjoy this recipe and fuel your body with good things this morning!
