Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Make sure you have 2 hard-boiled eggs that are already cooked and cooled. Chop them into small pieces and set aside.
- Next, take 1 ripe avocado and cut it in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired level of creaminess.
- Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise to the mashed avocado. This will add creaminess and flavor to the salad.
- Incorporate 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard into the mixture. This will give a nice tangy flavor to your egg salad.
- Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs into the avocado mixture. Be careful not to over-mix; you want to keep some chunks of egg for texture.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small pinch of each and adjust according to your preference.
- Finally, add 1 tablespoon of chopped chives for a fresh, oniony flavor. Mix gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Your Jax's Avocado Egg Salad is now ready! Serve it on whole grain bread, in a wrap, or on a bed of greens for a refreshing meal.
Tips
- Choose a perfectly ripe avocado - it should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy.
- Use room temperature eggs for easier peeling and more even mixing.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- If not serving immediately, cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
- For a low-carb option, serve in lettuce cups instead of bread.
- Use fresh, high-quality mayonnaise for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Chop chives just before adding to maintain their bright, fresh flavor.
- Experiment with additional herbs like dill or parsley for variation.
