๐Ÿฅ‘ Creamy avocado egg salad swaps mayo for healthy fats and vibrant flavor.
๐Ÿฅš Quick nutritious twist on classic perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or crackers!

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 6 hard-boiled eggs for protein

– 2 ripe avocados for creaminess

– 2 tbsp diced red onion for crunch

– 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice for flavor balance

– 1 tsp Dijon mustard for tang

– Salt and black pepper to taste for seasoning

– Chopped celery (optional) for extra crispness

– Fresh dill (optional) for herbal notes

Instructions

1-First Step: Boil and Prep Eggs Place 6 eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit 9-12 minutes for firm yolks. Transfer to ice water for 5 minutes to cool. Peel and chop coarsely. Prep saves time for busy schedules.

2-Second Step: Mash Avocados Cut 2 ripe avocados in half, remove pits, scoop flesh into a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth but with some chunks for texture. Ripe avocados mash easily at room temperature. This creates the creamy base central to low carb egg salad avocado appeal.

3-Third Step: Add Flavor Boosters Stir in 2 tablespoons diced red onion, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Mix well. Lemon juice keeps it fresh and halts oxidation. Taste and adjust; onion adds bite perfect for food enthusiasts.

4-Fourth Step: Incorporate Eggs and Season Fold in chopped eggs gently to avoid mushiness. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. For extras, add chopped celery or fresh dill now. Stir until combined. The gentle fold preserves egg pieces for satisfying bites.

5-Fifth Step: Check Consistency and Chill If too thick, add a splash of lemon juice or water. Cover and refrigerate 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld. Chilling enhances the creamy avocado egg salad profile.

6-Final Step: Serve and Enjoy Spoon onto toast, lettuce wraps, or crackers. Garnish with dill. Pairs well with veggies. For a full meal, try alongside baked salmon and summer veggies. Keeps you full with balanced macros.
