  • Protein: 2 Hard-boiled eggs peeled and diced.
  • Crunchy Veggies: 1 small Cucumber cubed, 1 small Tomato (seeded and chopped), ½ Onion (finely sliced).
  • Greens: Fresh Coriander or Parsley finely chopped.

  • Optional Kick: A pinch of Red chili flakes or finely chopped Green chili.
  • Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 9–10 minutes for a perfect hard boil. Transfer to an ice bath peel, and chop into bite-sized cubes.
  • Prep the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl combine the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, and onions.
  • Toss: Add the chopped coriander and the diced boiled eggs to the bowl.
  • Seasoning: Sprinkle salt black pepper, and roasted cumin powder over the mix.

  1. Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 9–10 minutes for a perfect hard boil. Transfer to an ice bath, peel, and chop into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Prep the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, and onions.
  3. Toss: Add the chopped coriander and the diced boiled eggs to the bowl.
  4. Seasoning: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and roasted cumin powder over the mix.
  5. Final Touch: Drizzle fresh lemon juice (and olive oil if using). Gently toss the salad so the egg yolks don't crumble too much.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately while fresh and crisp.

Notes

  • The Perfect Peel: Add a pinch of salt to the water while boiling eggs; it makes peeling the shell much easier.
  • Creamy Texture: If you like a creamier salad without using mayo, mash one egg yolk with the lemon juice and pepper to create a natural dressing before tossing in the rest of the ingredients.
  • Volume for Weight Loss: Add more leafy greens like spinach or lettuce to make the salad larger and more filling without adding significant calories.
  • Suhoor Advantage: This meal is very light on the stomach, preventing that "heavy" feeling or bloating during the day while providing high-quality protein to keep muscles fueled.
