Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 avocado

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Serving

  • Sliced bread (for sandwich, optional)
  • Lettuce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the cold eggs and let them cook on medium heat for 12 minutes. Once done, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs into an ice bath to cool, then peel off the shells.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined, creating a creamy and tangy dressing.
  3. Mash Salad Ingredients: Add the peeled hard-boiled eggs and the avocado on top of the dressing. Use a fork to gently mash everything together until well combined but still chunky for texture.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the avocado egg salad on its own or spread it generously on slices of your preferred bread. Add lettuce if desired for extra crunch and freshness. Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • To make peeling easier, you can slightly crack the eggs after boiling and roll them gently to loosen shells before peeling.
  • Use ripe but firm avocado to ensure the salad holds its shape and has a creamy texture.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the dressing.
  • This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but is best consumed fresh.
