Salad Ingredients

  • 5 hard boiled eggs
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground mustard
  • ¼ tsp cracked pepper
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Optional: crushed red pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Start by peeling the hard boiled eggs and chopping them into small pieces to create the base of your salad.
  2. Mash the Avocados: In a separate bowl, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocados and mash them thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped eggs to the mashed avocado. Mix them gently to combine evenly without turning the eggs into a paste.
  4. Season the Salad: Sprinkle in the onion powder, ground mustard, cracked pepper, and sea salt. Stir the mixture well to distribute the seasonings throughout the salad.
  5. Add Optional Spice: For a little heat, add crushed red pepper to taste and mix it in gently.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the avocado egg salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled on its own, with bread, or as a healthy side dish.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados to ensure the salad has a creamy texture.
  • Adjust seasonings to your taste, especially the salt and pepper.
  • For a dairy-free and healthier option, avocado replaces traditional mayonnaise.
  • Best consumed within 1-2 days as avocado may brown upon exposure to air.
  • Can be served as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or alongside greens.
