Ingredients
Eggs
- 4 large eggs
Salad Mixture
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or mayo)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup diced red onion (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley)
Optional
- Hot sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
- Cook eggs: Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes to cook through.
- Prepare avocado mixture: While eggs cook, cut avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Add lemon juice, then mash with a fork until smooth. Mix in Greek yogurt or mayo, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Cool and peel eggs: Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool after cooking. Once cooled, peel and chop into small pieces.
- Combine salad: Gently fold chopped eggs into the avocado mixture. If using, stir in diced red onion and chopped cilantro or parsley.
- Serve: Serve immediately or chill briefly for a refreshing salad. Add hot sauce if desired for a spicy kick.
Notes
- Using Greek yogurt instead of mayo adds extra protein and reduces fat content.
- Chilling the salad before serving enhances the flavors and texture.
- Feel free to substitute cilantro with parsley if preferred.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Hot sauce is optional but recommended for added flavor.
