Avocado Egg Salad
- 1 large avocado, pitted and diced
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Lemon pepper, to taste
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including the diced avocado, chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and lemon pepper.
- Combine Salad: In a medium bowl, add the diced avocado, chopped eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and lemon pepper according to your taste.
- Mix Thoroughly: Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined, taking care not to overly mash the avocado to maintain a chunky texture.
- Serve: Serve your avocado egg salad chilled, either spread on bread for sandwiches or paired with crackers as a light snack.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid a mushy texture.
- Adjust lemon juice and seasonings to balance the creaminess of avocado and mayonnaise.
- For a healthier version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- The salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; use lemon juice to help prevent avocado browning.
- Add chopped celery or red onion for extra crunch and flavor if desired.
