Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 large avocado (peeled, pitted and finely diced)
- 3 hard boiled eggs (roughly chopped)
- 2 tablespoons red onion (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chives (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
Optional
- Lettuce leaves for serving
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the diced avocado, roughly chopped hard boiled eggs, chopped red onion, mayonnaise, chives, fresh parsley, and lemon juice along with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste.
- Mix gently: Stir all the ingredients together carefully to blend flavors while maintaining some texture from the avocado and eggs.
- Serve: Enjoy the avocado egg salad plain, or serve it on your favorite bread or atop crisp lettuce leaves for a light and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for a creamy texture that blends well.
- Hard boil eggs for about 10-12 minutes for best results.
- Adjust mayonnaise quantity for creaminess or make it lighter by substituting with Greek yogurt.
- Fresh herbs like chives and parsley add a bright, fresh flavor but can be omitted or replaced.
- Serve immediately to prevent avocado browning, or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate if preparing in advance.
