Easy Avocado Egg Salad Ingredients:
- Eggs: Boil eggs ahead of time and peel to add into the bowl.
- Avocado: Slice and mash into the egg mixture.
- Mayonnaise: Adds the creamy texture and flavor.
- Dill: Minced
- Chives: Have an onion flavoring with a hint of garlic flavoring in the chives.
- Dijon Mustard: An intense flavoring of mustard with a sweet twist.
- Salt and Pepper: Just a pinch for taste!
- Boil Eggs: Add the eggs to a saucepan and fill with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let the eggs stand for 10-12 minutes. Take the eggs out of the water and let cool.
- Mix together salad: Peel and chop the eggs and add them to a medium sized bowl. Add avocado, mayonnaise, dill, chives, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well and mash avocado as you mix. Spread on bread or use with your favorite crackers.
How to Hard Boil Eggs?
Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Cover with a lid and bring water to a boil over high heat; when the water has reached a boil, set the timer for the desired time. Boil for 6 – 7 minutes over medium-high heat for perfect hard-boiled eggs.
- Hard boil eggs : It is best to hard boil your eggs ahead of time. Try not to overcook the boiled eggs in the process.
- Mashing avocados: Chunky avocados are better than a creamy avocado in this salad. Avocados are naturally creamy. The softer they are mashed and mixed together the better the salad will be.
- Fresh Herbs: I personally prefer fresh herbs for this recipe. It seems to blend better and have that strong flavor that adds more to the salad.
- Mayonnaise: If you need to substitute it for greek yogurt for an even lighter texture, that will alter the taste but will have the consistency needed.
How To Store It?
Store in an airtight container in the for 3 to 5 days long in the refrigerator. If you are enjoying a gathering and have the salad at room temperature it is best to store it after 1 to 2 hours or it is recommended to discard.
