Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs hard-boiled and chopped
  • 2 ripe avocados diced
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise preferably avocado oil-based
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 1 celery stalk finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion finely diced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional Add-ins:
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill parsley, or chives
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon
  • A dash of smoked paprika or hot sauce

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs

  • Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover with a lid, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
  • Transfer eggs to an ice bath, cool, peel, and chop roughly.

Prep the Avocados

  • Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and dice the flesh. Lightly mash with a fork in a mixing bowl, leaving some chunks for texture.
  • Mix the Salad
  • Add chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, celery, and red onion to the bowl with avocado.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine & Adjust

  • Gently fold everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Stir in any optional add-ins such as herbs or bacon.

Serve

  • Enjoy immediately or chill briefly before serving for a more refreshing texture.

Notes

  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Press a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
  • Texture Tip: Don’t overmix—the salad is best with a mix of creamy and chunky textures.
  • Flavor Boosters: Add hot sauce for heat, or fresh herbs for brightness.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Boil eggs in advance and store peeled in the fridge for up to 5 days.
