Ingredients

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar, plus more if needed
1/4 tsp. sugar
Kosher salt and pepper
4 large eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. whole-grain mustard
3 heads Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated
12 oz. cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup dill fronds, chopped
1 avocado, sliced
5 oz. smoked trout, flaked
2 whole-grain crispbread, broken into pieces (we used Wasa)
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1In medium bowl, toss together onion, vinegar, sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Let sit 30 minutes to quick-pickle. Drain liquid into measuring cup; add more vinegar if needed to measure 3 tablespoons liquid.
2. Step 2Meanwhile, bring small saucepan of water to a boil. Reduce heat so water is at a rapid simmer, then gently add eggs and simmer 7 minutes. Fill medium bowl with ice water. Immediately transfer eggs to ice water to stop cooking, then drain and peel.

4. Step 4Halve eggs and arrange on salad along with avocado, trout, and pickled onion. Sprinkle with crispbread and flaky sea salt. Serve drizzled with remaining dressing.
