Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including the diced avocado, chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and lemon pepper.
  2. 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.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined, taking care not to overly mash the avocado to maintain a chunky texture.
  4. 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.
