Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe Hass avocado, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (Hellmann’s preferred for creamy texture)
  • 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Serving Options (Optional)

  • Lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the mashed avocado, chopped hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped red onion, chives, parsley, mayonnaise, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently stir everything together until well combined, but be careful not to over-mix; leave some chunks of avocado and egg to retain a pleasant texture.
  2. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the avocado egg salad immediately for the freshest flavor. You can enjoy it plain, use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps, or serve it on crisp lettuce leaves for a light low-carb meal. Garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use ripe Hass avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for best creaminess.
  • Boil eggs by placing them in cold water, bringing to a boil, then removing from heat and letting stand covered for 9-10 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  • To prevent browning, add lemon juice to the avocado immediately after cutting and store with plastic wrap pressed directly on the salad surface.
  • You can substitute red onion with white onion, shallots, or celery for crunch.
  • Mayonnaise can be swapped for Greek yogurt, mashed cottage cheese, or hummus for different creamy flavors.
  • The salad is best enjoyed the day it’s made but can be stored up to 24 hours with proper covering to maintain color.
  • If browning occurs, simply scrape off the top layer before serving.
