Notes

Secret Tips for the Best Egg White Power Salad

  • Shock the eggs in an ice bath right after boiling to make peeling easy and to keep yolks bright yellow without the green ring.
  • Season the egg whites with a sprinkle of sea salt and cracked pepper before mixing—this brings out their subtle flavor.
  • Use baby spinach and arugula mix for more depth—arugula adds a peppery bite that balances the creamy avocado.
  • Toss quinoa in lemon juice and olive oil while still warm so it absorbs flavor better.
  • Add citrus zest (like lemon or orange) to the dressing for a hidden layer of brightness.
  • Chop veggies uniformly so each bite feels balanced and cohesive.
  • Layer components in a jar for a perfect meal prep version—dressing at the bottom, greens last.
  • Add microgreens on top just before serving for extra crunch and nutrient boost.
  • Toast your quinoa briefly before boiling for a nutty, enhanced flavor.
  • Use a soft-boiled egg white occasionally for a creamy twist without the yolk.
