Ingredients

4 large eggs

1 ripe avocado

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: lettuce leaves or whole grain bread for serving

Instructions

Boil the Eggs: In a medium saucepan, place the eggs and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.

Prepare the Avocado Mixture: While the eggs are cooking, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash it with a fork until it reaches a creamy consistency.

Combine Ingredients: To the mashed avocado, add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, chopped red onion, celery, and dill. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Peel the Eggs: After the eggs have set, transfer them to an ice bath for a few minutes to cool. Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.

Mix the Egg and Avocado: Gently fold the chopped eggs into the avocado mixture. Be careful not to over-mix; you want to retain some texture.

Season and Serve: Taste the salad and add salt and pepper according to your preferences. Serve the avocado egg salad on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich with whole grain bread.

Garnish: If desired, sprinkle additional fresh dill on top as a garnish for an extra pop of flavor and color.
