To make this meal paleo friendly, we deconstruct a classic caprese sandwich and make it into a vibrant and full salad with peaches, walnuts, eggs, and avocado. No one will miss the meat tonight, we promise! Smarts: Older eggs are easier to peel so buy two cartons. One for serving within the week and one for hardboiling 10 days after purchase.
Hard boil eggs - Place eggs in a saucepan, and cover by 1” (2.5 cm) of water. Salt generously and then bring to a boil. Once water has reached a boil, take it off the heat and just let it sit for 11 minutes. Crack and chop eggs before serving. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
Make vinaigrette - Whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and cooking oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Basil / Shallots - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
