Egg, Avocado, Apple Salad
Have you guys heard of Secret Recipe Club? I have been participating for the last few months and it’s been a great way for me to find new blogs and try new recipes. It’s been a ton of fun and I highly recommend joining if you haven’t already.
This month, I was happy to find I was paired with another blogger I had never heard of – From Arepas to Zwetschgen! I searched through the various posts and saw tons of great salad and sandwich recipes. I chose this recipe because we had some delicious lettuce, red onion, and cherry tomatoes in our CSA box last week.
This salad was amazingly delicious and filling. The pecans gave a nice crunch to the salad and the avocado and hard boiled egg gave the salad some heft and creaminess. I dressed the salad with some olive oil and balsalmic vinegar. Hubby commented that this salad would be great with some grilled chicken on top as well.

Ooh, that sounds great!
That sounds pretty incredible! Love your 5 day idea 🙂
That looks delicious! I wish I could convince my husband to eat squash. 🙁
LOVE this! Lentils are DELICIOUS and sooo good for you! This looks perfect!
Such a delicious filling salad! You pretty much had me at goat cheese…my favorite!
I made the Bon Appetit version last year with pumpkin. It was soo good. I actually had thought it would be good with butternut squash too. Great salad!
I’ve been eyeing that recipe since the original in BA and again since SK posted it. Where do you get your uncooked black lentils?
Cara – I used the Goya brand lentils from my grocery store. They were greenish brown.
This looks awesome…I have some lentils I have been wanting to use, so this will be perfect!
i made this too and it was AWESOME 🙂
I love the combination of hearty lentils, sweet and spicy butternut squash and tangy goat cheese. I can imagine every flavor in this!
