Description
A simple, protein-packed salad with creamy avocado, tender hard-boiled eggs, bright lemon, and crunchy herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley)
- 1/4 cup diced red onion (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and chopping the hard-boiled eggs into bite-sized pieces. If your eggs are cold from the fridge, let them sit a few minutes so they’re easier to peel. Dice the red onion finely and chop the fresh herbs.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork until you reach a creamy but slightly chunky texture. Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) to the mashed avocado and mix well.
- Stir the chopped eggs, chopped herbs, and diced red onion (if using) into the seasoned mashed avocado until everything is evenly mixed. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or lemon as needed.
- Serve immediately on whole grain toast, a bed of mixed greens, or in lettuce wraps. Sprinkle a little extra chopped herb or a grind of black pepper on top for color.
Notes
For best freshness, store avocado mash and chopped eggs separately and combine just before serving.
