  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2-3 servings

Ingredients

– 1 large avocado, peeled, pitted, and finely diced

– 3 hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped

– 2 tablespoons red onion, chopped (can be swapped with green onions)

– 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (alternatives: sour cream or dairy-free options)

– 1 tablespoon chives, chopped

– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (alternatives: cilantro, basil, or tarragon)

– 1 teaspoon lemon juice

– Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste

– Optional: lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions

1-In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado, chopped eggs, red onion, mayonnaise, chives, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

2-Stir gently to mix all ingredients while keeping some chunks of avocado for texture.

3-Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

4-Serve immediately, either plain, on bread, wrapped in lettuce leaves, or as desired.

5-First, boil eggs right. Place in cold water, bring to boil, then simmer 10-12 minutes. Cool in ice bath to peel easily and avoid discoloration. Dice avocado fresh to keep it green.

6-Mix gently so avocado stays chunky. This gives the best texture. Add lemon juice right away. Taste before serving, tweak salt or pepper.

7-For vegan, use tofu instead of eggs. Stir just before eating. Perfect for meal prep with care.

Notes

๐ŸŒฟ Add fresh herbs like cilantro or dill for extra flavor variation and bright green color
