A creamy, healthy egg salad made with ripe avocado instead of mayonnaise, offering a lighter, flavorful twist on classic egg salad. Perfect for quick meals, potlucks, and lunchboxes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 ripe Hass avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pan, remove from heat, and let sit for exactly 10 minutes.
  2. Drain and place eggs in ice water for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Gently tap eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running cold water to remove shells smoothly.
  4. Roughly chop the eggs and transfer to a mixing bowl.
  5. Scoop out the ripe avocado flesh into the bowl with eggs. Mash together with a fork or potato masher until creamy but still slightly chunky.
  6. Mix in the diced red onion, celery (if using), and chopped chives or green onions.
  7. Add fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil (if using), salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld, or serve immediately if desired.

Notes

Cool eggs immediately in ice water after boiling to prevent green rings and sulfur smell. Do not over-mash avocado; keep some texture for better mouthfeel. Adding lemon juice right after mashing avocado prevents browning. Olive oil is optional for silkier texture. Store leftovers in airtight container with a squeeze of lemon juice on top to keep fresh for up to 2 days. Avoid freezing.
