Some days call for simplicity. Not the kind that feels empty—but the kind that nourishes, grounds, and reminds you that care doesn’t have to be complicated. This salad is one of those rituals. It’s quick, fresh, and layered with just enough intention to feel like a gift to yourself.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, boiled and sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
- ½ cucumber, peeled and sliced
- A handful of fresh basil leaves
- Black pepper, to taste
- Seasoning salt, to taste
Assembly
Layer the tomatoes and cucumber first—cool, juicy, and grounding. Add the onion slices for a bit of bite, then nestle in the egg slices like soft punctuation. Scatter the basil leaves over everything, letting their aroma rise. Finish with a gentle sprinkle of black pepper and seasoning salt. No dressing needed—the eggs and tomatoes do the work.
Why I Love It
This salad is more than a recipe—it’s a pause. The eggs bring protein and comfort, the basil adds brightness, and the seasoning is just enough to wake up the senses. I make it when I need clarity, when I’m between tasks, or when I want to feel nourished without fuss.
