Print Recipe

A creamy, healthy avocado egg salad made without mayo, ready in under 10 minutes. Perfect for quick lunches, light dinners, or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 large ripe avocado (about 7 oz / 200g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Hard-boil the eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off heat, cover pot, and let eggs sit for 10–12 minutes. Drain and transfer to ice water to cool.
  2. Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop into bite-sized pieces. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  3. Use a fork to mash the avocado until mostly smooth but still a little chunky.
  4. Add the chopped eggs to the mashed avocado. Stir in the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and chopped herbs. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more lemon juice for tang or a teaspoon of water or olive oil to loosen the texture if needed.

Notes

[‘Use ripe but firm avocado to avoid mushy texture.’, ‘Fresh lemon juice prevents avocado from browning and adds brightness.’, ‘Chop eggs last to keep them from turning mushy.’, ‘Salt well to enhance flavor.’, ‘Press plastic wrap directly on the salad surface to prevent browning when storing.’, ‘Do not freeze the salad as avocado texture and color will degrade.’, ‘Serve cold or at room temperature; reheating is not recommended.’]
