  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

– 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

– 2 hard-boiled egg whites, chopped

– 2 small avocados, pitted and peeled [replacing mayo for a dairy-free avocado egg salad option]

– 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt

– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice [brightens flavors and prevents browning]

– 2 tablespoons chopped green onion [for better texture]

– 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste [to perfect the taste]

Instructions

1-First Step: Prepare your ingredients (mise en place). Start by hard-boiling the eggs if needed. Use a pressure cooker or stovetop method for reliable results: place eggs in cold water, bring to boil, then simmer 9-12 minutes. Cool in ice water, peel, and chop 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites. Pit and peel 2 small ripe avocados, choosing ones that yield slightly to pressure for creamier texture. Chop 2 tablespoons green onion. Have 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard ready. This step takes 5 minutes if eggs are pre-boiled, saving time for busy schedules.

2-Second Step: Combine in a bowl. In a medium bowl, add the chopped hard-boiled eggs and egg whites with the avocados, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped green onion, and Dijon mustard. Gently toss to distribute. The avocado begins to coat everything, creating the base for your egg salad with avocado. For keto avocado egg salad with hard-boiled eggs, this mix keeps carbs low.

3-Third Step: Mash to desired consistency. Use a fork to mash the mixture until smooth or chunky, based on preference. Mash avocados first for creaminess, then incorporate eggs. This makes how to make avocado egg salad creamy simple. Taste and adjust; add more lemon for tang. Takes 2-3 minutes.

4-Fourth Step: Season and mix well. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir thoroughly. For low-carb avocado egg salad recipe, this keeps it light.
