Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, raid your refrigerator to gather all the ingredients needed for your salad. We’re using a variety of fresh greens, colorful bell peppers, crisp cucumber, sweet kiwi and apple, pre-boiled eggs, creamy avocado, and some sweet canned corn and pineapple. This is a fantastic way to use up what you have!
Step 2
Take your hard-boiled eggs and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Halving or quartering them makes for a nice presentation and easy eating in the salad.
Step 3
Next, dice the remaining fruits and vegetables into uniform, bite-sized cubes. Once everything is chopped, simply arrange them in a large bowl. It couldn’t be any easier than this!
Step 4
Now, let’s make our signature Spicy Mayo Dressing, a favorite in our household! In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with Sriracha sauce. You can adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preference for spiciness.
Step 5
Add fresh lemon juice to the dressing. The lemon juice will help thin the dressing slightly to a pourable consistency and add a bright, zesty flavor that balances the richness of the mayonnaise.
Step 6
Whisk everything together until well combined, and your delicious Spicy Mayo Dressing is ready! It’s got a wonderful balance of creamy, spicy, and tangy notes.
Step 7
Arrange the prepared salad ingredients in individual serving bowls. The vibrant colors of the fresh produce will create a visually appealing dish.
Step 8
Finally, generously drizzle the Spicy Mayo Dressing over your salad. The combination of crisp vegetables, fresh fruits, and the creamy, spicy dressing is truly delightful. Enjoy this healthy and delicious brunch!
