  3. 03

    Cool the Eggs: Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water and let them cool for 5 minutes.

— Chef's Notes —
  • Use fresh vegetables for maximum crunch and flavor.
  • Add avocado for healthy fats if desired.
  • Include grilled chicken for extra protein.
  • Prepare the vegetables ahead of time for a quick lunch.
  • Serve chilled during hot summer days for a refreshing meal.
