  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Eggs

  • 4 hard boiled eggs

Salad Mix

  • 1 large avocado
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped green onion

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Prepare four hard boiled eggs using your preferred method, then cool and peel them. For perfectly cooked eggs, boil water, add eggs carefully, cook for 9-12 minutes, then transfer to ice water to stop cooking.
  2. Prepare Eggs: Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, carefully remove the yolks, and place the yolks in a bowl. Chop the egg whites into small pieces and set aside.
  3. Mash Yolks and Avocado: In the bowl with the yolks, add the peeled avocado and mash together until smooth and creamy. This mixture provides the creamy base for the salad.
  4. Add Seasonings: Stir in the apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard into the mashed avocado and yolk mixture until well combined.
  5. Combine Egg Whites and Green Onion: Fold in the chopped egg whites and chopped green onion gently to maintain some texture and freshness within the salad.
  6. Final Seasoning: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper to suit your preference. Serve chilled.
