Kori's Tips

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes check out my post above.
TIPS: Use ripe but firm avocados so they hold their shape when tossed. Whisk the dressing until smooth before combining—it helps coat the spinach evenly. Slice eggs and avocados just before serving for the freshest texture and color.
VARIATIONS: Swap spinach for arugula or mixed greens, or add sliced cucumber, radish, or shredded carrot for extra crunch. Sprinkle on everything bagel seasoning for a fun twist, or use lime juice and cilantro for a bright southwest vibe.
FLEXITARIAN OPTIONS: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon for extra protein. For a vegetarian protein boost, toss in chickpeas, edamame, or a spoonful of hemp seeds.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Enjoy as a light meal, serve it on toast, or stuff it into pita pockets or wraps. It also makes a great side salad for grilled meats or seafood.
