Ingredients
- 2 avocados
- ½ cup red bell pepper diced
- ¼ cup red onion diced
- 1 teaspoon parsley chopped
- ½ teaspoon dill chopped
- 1/3 cup cucumber diced
- 6 eggs hard-boiled
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- A drizzle of olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnishing
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add avocados and mash with a fork or the back of a wooden spoon until mostly smooth.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well with a spoon until creamy.
- Serve at room temperature or place it in the fridge for 15 minutes or until it’s cold for your taste.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Check if your avocado is ripe by giving it a gentle squeeze. If it gives to the pressure, then it's ripe.
- If the red onions are too sharp for you, soak them in cold water before adding them to the salad.
- Fresh lemon juice is best as bottled juice doesn't taste as fresh.
- To store: Store the avocado egg salad in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. As the avocado will oxidize over time, the egg salad won't last as long as regular egg salad.
