Ingredients
  

  • 2 hard-boiled eggs chopped
  • 2 hard-boiled egg whites chopped
  • 2 small avocados pitted and peeled
  • 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Fork
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Serving dish

Method
 

  1. Start by boiling your eggs. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let them simmer for about 10-12 minutes. Once done, transfer them to an ice bath to cool before peeling.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the peeled avocados. Using a fork, mash them to your desired consistency. You can make it smooth or leave some chunks for added texture.
  3. To the mashed avocados, add the chopped hard-boiled eggs and egg whites. Then, mix in the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, chopped green onion, and Dijon mustard. Use the fork to combine everything gently.
  4. Sprinkle in salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences. Remember, the flavors will develop as the salad sits, so don’t be afraid to taste and tweak as you go!
  5. For the best flavor, allow your Avocado Egg Salad to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This lets the flavors meld beautifully. Serve it on whole-grain bread, with crackers, or enjoy it straight from the bowl!

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and creaminess.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice based on how tangy you like your salad.
  • Mix in a pinch of garlic powder or fresh herbs like dill for an extra flavor kick.
  • For a spicy twist, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapeños.
