Creamy Avocado Egg Salad

Print Recipe

A vibrant and comforting twist on classic egg salad, featuring creamy avocado for added flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large avocado
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions

  1. Start with the eggs. Hard boil your eggs if you haven’t done so already. Allow them to cool, peel, and chop them roughly.
  2. Mash the avocado. Cut it in half, scoop it out into a bowl, and use a fork to mash it to your desired creaminess.
  3. Mix in the onion. Gently fold in the chopped onions into the mashed avocado.
  4. Combine the eggs. Fold in the roughly chopped hard-boiled eggs into the avocado mixture gently.
  5. Add the herbs and mayo. Sprinkle in the chopped chives and parsley, followed by the mayonnaise. Stir until well combined.
  6. Season to perfection. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, tasting as you go to find the perfect balance.
  7. Chill and serve. Let the salad chill in the fridge for about 15-30 minutes, then serve in lettuce leaves or with bread.

Notes

For extra flavor variations, consider adding crumbled bacon, sriracha for spice, or olives for a Mediterranean flair.
